Primo was born on September 19, 1932, in Donora, PA. He graduated from Donora High School in Donora, PA in 1950 and went on to receive a degree in drafting/engineering. He met the love of his life, Rose Bove, at a dance in Charleroi, PA and they were married for 71 years. Despite eligibility for military deferment, Primo proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. After the military, Primo worked in the Steel mill and later worked in the drafting and design field at various locations in the Mon Valley area. Primo was active in the community serving as Boy Scout Master in Donora, coaching youth sports, and providing the Monessen High School football game programs for years. He eventually moved to Oviedo, FL to work for Siemens. He tried to retire when he was 80 years old, but they kept calling him back!
Primo lived life on his terms. Always gregarious and full of life, people loved to be around him. His love of family was unparalleled as was his dedication to Rose. He was proud of his children and the closeness of his entire family. Primo will be missed by all those who knew him and we sympathize with those who will never get the chance to meet him.
