Julius Pascal Zamcho, 46, of Throop, passed away Sunday morning at home. He is survived by his wife, the former Lisa Pasqualicchio. The couple was married for 18 years.
Born in the Republic of Cameroon, he was the son of Clement Zamcho and the late Florence Chibikom-Zamcho. He was a graduate of the University of Scranton where he earned a bachelor’s degree in biology. He was a senior scientist at Merck in Lansdale, Pa.
Julius enjoyed grilling and cooking alongside his father-in-law, Cheech. He would often spend ample time outdoors, by the lake, surrounded by friends and loved ones. Singing karaoke and playing the piano with everyone brought Julius immense joy. We will dearly miss his kindness, warm smile and infectious laughter.
