Hello Family and Friends of Salvatore.
I am writing to you to let you know that dad passed away peacefully last night, Tuesday 16th June 2020 at 8pm.
He was, as he has been the last 3 months, surrounded by his family; and he was in his own home. Just as he had wished.
He will lie in state here until tomorrow, when Natural Grace Funeral Directors will assist us to get dad to the Fawkner Cemetery where he will be cremated. As he wished.
We will have a private tribute to dad with the immediate family before he leaves the premises. And we will carry him out at 1pm.
We look forward to holding a celebration of dad’s life in the future to which each and every one will be invited.
So much love and gratitude to all of you for your beautiful words for dad and your gifts of food, wine, flowers and cards.
Much respect,
Anna Caleo
And Chris’ response:
Oh Anna that is beautiful.
When I told Salv on Saturday evening that I was going home his response was ‘so am I’. So your dear dad was very ready to say good bye to High Street and the family he loved so dearly. I’m sure Salv’s farewell to 41 will be something Mary Anne, and all the Caleo clan will treasure.
I saw the grandies ‘tributing’ the front fence this arvo and I know Salv’s spirit will live on in all of them for as long as they live and probably longer because there is no way known that they won’t tell their own grandchildren about their grandfather Salvatore Caleo.
