Personal
DiMarco has known his wife Amy since the seventh grade, when both attended Rock Lake Middle School in Longwood, Florida. Later, both were students at Lake Brantley High School, and attended their high school prom together. They have three children—two daughters and a son.
He hosts his own annual charity golf tournament at his local course, the Country Club of Heathrow in Heathrow, Florida. The "Norma DiMarco Tee Up For Life Golf Tournament," named in honor of his mother who died from cancer in 2006, raises funds for R.O.C.K (Reaching Out to Cancer Kids), and features celebrities and amateurs. As part of his personal participation in the event, DiMarco plays the 12th hole with every foursome in the tournament.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“Life is unnecessarily long. Moments of insight, of fine personal relation, a smile, a glance,—what ample borrowers of eternity they are!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Take two kids in competition for their parents’ love and attention. Add to that the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other; the resentment that each child feels for the privileges of the other; the personal frustrations that they don’t dare let out on anyone else but a brother or sister, and it’s not hard to understand why in families across the land, the sibling relationship contains enough emotional dynamite to set off rounds of daily explosions.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn’t live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was “the problem that had no name.” Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.”
—Betty Friedan (20th century)
