Mario J. Demartin

Mario J. DeMartin, age 73, died Saturday, August 27, 2016 at ManorCare Health Services in Bethlehem, PA, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. He has lived in the Flemington area since 1984. Born in Bound Brook, NJ, Mario was the only son of the late Morris and Fannie (Barberi) DeMartin. He received two Associates degrees; one for Business and the other in Mechanical Engineering. Mario retired after 30 years as a Mechanical Engineer with Ethicon Corp in Bridgewater NJ. Mario collected model trains for many years, and enjoyed woodworking in his basement, making many types of furniture and household pieces like tables, clocks, picture frames, and other items. After retirement in 1993, Mario and his family travelled throughout the United States, stopping in nearly every state they could drive to, including Alaska. He loved the Jersey Shore, particularly Little Egg Harbor Township NJ, where he spent many days and nights. Mario also loved dogs, and especially missed his lab-mix, Duke, who was often more human than canine. Mario is survived by his wife of 52 years, Janet (Reynolds) DeMartin, as well as his daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Andrew Lozowski of Phillipsburg NJ, and his daughter, Lori Ruffi of Flemington NJ.
