  DeSantis, James F.   
   
  James F. DeSantis, 95, formerly of Hershey passed away Saturday, October 4, 
  2008, at his home in Traditions of Hershey. He was born April 24, 1913, in 
  Riddlesburg, Pa., a son of the late Peter and Loretta (Fioranti) DeSantis. Mr. 
  DeSantis retired as a foreman from the former Olmsted Air Force Base in 
  Middletown, with 22 years of service. He then worked another 10 years in the 
  mail room of the Pennsylvania State Capitol, and later drove school bus for the 
  Derry Township School District. Jim was an avid vegetable gardener, and was 
  noted for his tomatoes, but especially his beautiful Hotel Hershey Roses, which 
  he would give to receptionists, waitresses and clerks; so much, so that he 
  became affectionately known as "the rose man." Jim was of the Catholic faith, 
  and a member of the Olmsted Retirees Club, the Annville VFW, and the 
  Campbelltown American Legion.. Surviving are his wife of 48 years, Pamela 
  (Hill) Carlew DeSantis; eight children, Anna DeSantis Stuck of Mechanicsburg, 
  Barbara DeSantis Haas of Palmyra, Virginia Carlew of Campbelltown, Cathryn 
  Corlew of Troy, N.Y., Don Michael Corlew of Ripley, Tenn., John Corlew of 
  Martinez, Ga., Thomas Carlew of Halls, Tenn., Lewis Corlew of Apache Junction, 
  Ariz.; a sister, Anna Peters of Palmyra; 18 grandchildren; 17 
  greatgrandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. Services will be held 
  Wednesday, October 8, 2008, at 10:30 a.m. in the Hoover Funeral Homes & 
  Crematory Inc., Route No. 422 and Lucy Avenue in Hershey. A visitation will be 
  held Wednesday at the funeral home one hour prior to the service. Interment 
  will be in the Hershey Cemetery. Jim loved flowers but, if desired, memorial 
  contributions may be made to PinnacleHealth Hospice, 3705 Elmwood Drive, 
  Harrisburg, PA 17110.
