In Loving Memory of Gerard Vincent Cafaro
January 22, 1950 – June 15, 2025
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Gerard “Gerry” Vincent Cafaro.
Gerry was a devoted father, proud grandfather, and loyal friend to many.
Gerry was born in Brooklyn, New York on January 22, 1950, to Virginia and Aurelio
Cafaro. He was steadfast, charismatic, witty, and sincere. He showed his love through
actions – through his loyalty, his protection, and the pride he carried for his family. He
was regularly surrounded by great friends - loving life, travel, food, and drink. He was a
father you could count on, a friend you could trust, and someone who lived life fully and
on his own terms.
Gerry was focused and hardworking and it guided him to lead and succeed in a career
as a funeral director. During his career, he brought compassion, dignity, and grace to
countless families during their most difficult times.
Above all else, Gerry cherished his family. He was a loving and supportive father to his
three children and his cherished son-in-law: Gregory Cafaro, Andrea (Todd) McKee, and
Jeanine Cafaro, and an adoring grandfather to his three granddaughters, Leah,
Madelyn, and Nina. He took immense pride in their accomplishments and found joy in
every moment he spent with them.
His legacy will forever live on through the countless lives he touched and the many
lessons he taught us.
