Dean A. Turco, 59, of West Yarmouth, died Monday, March 27, 2017, at Cape Cod Hospital, after a courageous battle with small cell lung cancer. He was the beloved husband of Karen (Kozak) Turco and proud father of Dean A. Turco, Jr. Born in Hyannis, Dean was raised in Yarmouth, attending Dennis-Yarmouth High Regional High School and received a hockey scholarship to New Hampton Preparatory School in New Hampshire, where he excelled at hockey. He then attended Roger Williams on a scholarship. Dean was an avid New England sports fan, especially the Bruins and his idol Bobby Orr, whom he was lucky enough to personally meet this past year. He worked as an independent building contractor. He had strong family values and work ethic. If he could have worked 7 days a week, he would have. Besides his wife, Karen and his son. Dean, he is also survived by his sister Donna Hill and her husband, Chris; several sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. A Visitation will be held on Saturday, April 1st, from 10:00 to 11:30AM, immediately followed by a Memorial Service at 11:30AM, in the Hallett Funeral Home, 273 Station Ave, South Yarmouth. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the VNA of Cape Cod Hospice, 434 Route 134, Suite D-3, South Dennis, MA 02660

Karen, Dean Jr, Donna, Chris: I am sorry to hear the news about Dean. He was one of the first kids I met when we moved to the Cape in 92. We quickly formed a friendship, and a true friend he was. May he rest in peace and you find comfort in knowing he suffers no longer from that terrible disease. Rest in Peace, Dean. Thanks for being a friend. John G

Cancer truly sucks,Talking to you last week and having you ask me how I was feeling shows what a heart you had caring about what I was going through, all the while fighting the fight.

Soar high on your angel wings Dean. I'll miss our hockey talks and just miss you. May everlasting love be around you always. You shall never be far away or forgotten. Ever. I love and miss you so much. Be free and at Peace. If you could have a little pull. It would be nice to have our beloved Bruins make the playoffs :-) That may be a lot to ask since you just got to heaven. I think of you always when I watch them play. I love you Dean for always!
