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.

Karen and L. Dean my thoughts are with you always. My condolences to you both and the whole family. Love you all. #6

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
