Do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Mary Frye – 1932

The Philadelphia Inquirer - September 25, 1968
Marine Lance Cpl. Marino died of gunshot wounds sustained in Quang Tri Province. His mother was notified of her son's death Monday night.
In a letter to his mother two weeks ago, Cpl. Marino expressed a premonition of his death. He said in part: "I can't begin to tell you what its like over here, you wouldn't understand. When I get to the gates of heaven, I'll say to God -'One Marine reporting, Sir, I've already served my time in hell.'"
A graduate of Overbrook High School, Cpl. Marino is survived by a brother and a sister in addition to his mother.
Semper Fidelis, Marine!

All Public Baseball Player of the Year 1967
Nicholas Marino 3rd
N.62nd Street, Overbrook
At 5 feet, 6 inches, Marino never was the tallest player in the many football and baseball games he played, but he usually was the toughest. He was the 1967 All-Public Baseball Player of the Year, the same year he graduated from Overbrook High School. He was an outstanding linebacker as well on the Overbrook varsity football team. Marino went on to study architectural drafting at Dobbins Vocational High School. He joined the Marine Corps in November 1967. He was ordered to Vietnam the following year and assigned to Company I of the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, 3rd Marine Division. He had to do “his duty as he saw fit,” as a family member put it. The 18-year-old lance corporal, a rifleman, died in Quang Tri Province on September 10, 1968. He was survived by his mother, a brother and sister.

You will always be with me.
You were the big brother I never had who freely gave his time to take me places and do things with me. I admired everything about you and especially how you could make me feel like I was your friend and not just a cousin. I remember you and brother Ed playing baseball for the Overbrook League and how the Cincinnati Reds drafted you for a farm team before you got the call to serve. I know you're in Heaven because you've already served your time in hell. Maynard C. Krebbs will never forget...
