Karmine, age 80, of Geneva-On-The-Lake, Ohio passed away on Saturday, December 18, 2021.  Born in Cleveland, Ohio on December 23, 1940, he was the son of the late Larry John Karmine and the late Gladys E.

He is survived by his son, Larry (Kelly); stepdaughter, Tammy (Jeff); his sisters, Lydia and Kristie (Jim); his three granddaughters; three nieces and three nephews. He is preceded in death by his father, Larry J. Karmine; his mother and stepfather, Gladys and Thomas Vaughan; his brother, Craig and his brother, Barry.
