Daniel J. "Danny" Cavallo's Obituary
Daniel J. “Danny” Cavallo, 57, of East Syracuse, passed away unexpectedly on January 2, 2021 at St. Joseph’s Hospital. He was born in Syracuse and graduated from Assumption Catholic Academy. Danny was employed by Wegmans Food Markets for over 40 years, the majority of which as a Master Carpenter. He had a passion for carpentry, doing a variety of remodeling projects for many others throughout the years. Anyone he did work for knew he was meticulous and a master at his craft. Danny also started coaching baseball early on, but after having two daughters he moved onto coaching softball and was able to coach both his daughters from little league through their high school years. He also coached for many different leagues, softball travel teams and was the varsity softball coach at Bishop Grimes High School. He currently was involved with NY District 8 Little League as a Director alongside his father. Danny also enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid hunter, but what he cherished most in life was spending time with his family. “His girls” were the light of his life. All who knew Danny loved his quick wit and larger than life personality. His big, beautiful smile was contagious and will live in our hearts always and forever.
Danny is survived by his loving wife of 24 years, Maureen (Anderson) Cavallo; two daughters, Nichole and Alyssa Cavallo; his parents, Daniel and Patricia Cavallo; two sisters, Jennifer (Michael) Ferguson and Danice (Christopher) Magill; two nephews, one niece, and several cousins.
