Maroon was born to William and Isabelle Nemer on August 2, 1927 in Waterville, Maine.  He had three sisters, Minnie, Yvonne, & Theresa.    Sadly, Maroon lost his father when he was only 12 and I don't have any photos of them together.  I hope in time to find more photos from this period in his life.
