To the Damazo family,
We are sorry to learn of the loss of Dr. Damazo. We can only imagine what a joyful heavenly embrace took place as he was reunited with his beloved wife.
As pharmaceutical representatives, we had the privilege of calling on “Doc” in his Beaver Falls office. He was always generous with his time and had an excellent sense of humor. He undoubtedly made a positive difference in the lives of so many folks through the years during his vocation as a physician.
Wishing each of you peace at this time of loss, especially in the days ahead.
With our sympathy,
Kevin and Andrea Powers

Condolences to all of Dr. Damazo’s family on his recent passing.
He lived a full life, and it was always a pleasure to see him and have a chat at the hospital and at Medical Society meetings.
We played golf together only once at Shadow Lakes, but he was an avid competitor and loved to play for a dollar or two.
Best wishes,
Dr. Geoff Herald
