He was the loving husband of Diana (Simeone) Maccarone.
Son of Anne (Donfrancesco) Maccarone and the late Edward D. Maccarone Sr., born April 7, 1951 in Providence, RI.
Proud and loving father of Jenna Robbio and husband Steven, Kristen Giardina and husband Joseph, Laurie Camara and husband Mark, and son Edward Maccarone III. Also cherished “Papa” of Zachary Robbio. Brother to David Maccarone and wife Lisa. “Uncle Ed” to four nieces and four nephews.
Along with his bright blue eyes, he had a smile as radiant and big as his heart. What he did not possess in height, Edward made up for in his demeanor; a big sense of humor and contagious belly laugh were a few attributes that made a lasting impression. Sparse in words at times, his affection was portrayed more in the ideals evident in his life; the unyielding devotion to his wife and soul-mate, the perseverance of life-long friendships, a tenacious work ethic, a selflessness that compelled him to whole-heartedly raise his four children, the gratification he took in achievements, and the unequivocal pride illicit in his grandson. He attended Classical High School and later pursued the study of Business at the University of Rhode Island as a brother in the Theta Chi fraternity and member of the Crew team. After graduating he continued in the construction industry until retirement.
Visitation will be held Monday, 4-7 PM with his funeral on Tuesday at 9 AM from the PONTARELLI-MARINO Home, 971 Branch Avenue, Providence. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 AM in St. Margaret Catholic Church, 1098 Pawtucket Avenue, Rumford, followed by entombment in St. Ann Cemetery, Cranston.
