What an outpouring of both grief and gratitude there has been for Marcus Macaluso, who died on Oct. 3. During the week that he was in the hospital, his friends gathered at 7 p.m. each night under the Penn Oak at London Grove Friends Meeting to pray for him. Tributes on social media have mentioned what a kind and loving man he was and how he served as an inspiration to a great variety of people scattered far and wide. So many folks have shared how Marcus's example helped them to turn their lives around and put them on a healthier path toward recovery.
He will be greatly missed, and the community's thoughts are with his parents and his loved ones. May they find comfort in knowing what a hugely positive impact he had on so many people in his too-short life. As one mutual friend wrote on Facebook, "Don't know where I would be without your infinite kindness and wisdom. Will miss you dearly. Until another time & place, my friend."
Marcus' memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, October 25, at London Grove Friends Meeting House. Memorial contributions may be made to Kacie's Cause, 232 Longwood Road, Kennett Square, PA 19348 (a nonprofit that raises awareness of heroin addiction) and Kennett Area Community Service, P.O. Box 1025, Kennett Square, PA 19348. Or simply do an act of kindness in his memory.
