Horacio Vaccarezza
Ocean Pines

Horacio Vaccarezza, 88, of Ocean Pines, passed away peacefully and adored by his beloved family on Aug. 2, 2024.

He was the devoted husband and life-long partner of Margot; loving and unbelievable father of Claudia Gausepohl (Greg) and Diego Vaccarezza (Karin); and ‘Tata’ to four grandchildren, Nick and Alexis Gausepohl, and Jake and Daniel Vaccarezza. He also leaves behind a trail of people that he impacted through his generosity, sense of humor, and spirit.

Horacio was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, to his late parents Ricardo and Esther Vaccarezza. Stories from his younger days are too numerous to tell but they all reflect great and lifelong friendships, a love of nature and animals, and an energy and love of life.

He immigrated to the United States in 1974 with his wife and two young children and worked tirelessly to provide a great life for his family. He loved soccer, having played as a young man and then dedicating himself to coaching and being a lifelong fan of his beloved Charruas from Uruguay.

Horacio moved to Ocean Pines in 2001 where he continued to make friends, always ready to lend a hand and undoubtedly find a solution hidden somewhere in his garage.

Visitation begins at noon, followed by a celebration of life at 1 p.m., on Aug. 14, at the Community Church of Ocean Pines.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Worcester County Humane Society.
