The De Funis and Schaloum families, this office, the legal profession and the world lost my friend, Marco De Funis, on Wednesday night, January 16, 2002. Marco was 52 years old, two weeks short of his 53rd birthday. Marco had no warning of his death which occurred while running on the indoor track at the Jewish Community Center on Mercer Island, an activity he did several times a week for several years. He had no history of heart problems, no cholesterol or blood pressure problems, no warning at all.
I was honored to give a eulogy at his funeral on Friday, January 18, 2002. Below were my remarks:
