Pasquale Cataldo of Melrose, formerly of East Boston and Mirabella, Italy, passed away suddenly on October 12, 2018, age 72. Pasquale loved spending time with his family through many summers spent in Italy-especially on the beach enjoying gelato with his grandchildren. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone that asked - and was one of the most soft spoken and kind hearted men you would ever meet. He was a wizard with his hands - and many of his friends and family will still see signs of his woodwork in their homes. He enjoyed dancing with Mamma, watching Serie A soccer at home or in the North End, attending Saturday mass and shopping for sharp Italian suits and ties. We will forever remember his humor and smile that was taken too soon from us. Pasquale was the beloved husband of 46 years to Antonella (Colella) Cataldo. Loving father of Alex Cataldo & his wife Anna Maria of the UK, Cynthia Cataldo & her husband Jim of CA and Jessica Cataldo & her husband Valerio of Italy. Proud grandfather of Alessandro, Caterina, Sebastian, Xavier, Sofia & Alex. Caring brother of Geraldina DeFlumeri, Giovanni Cataldo, Maria Barbanell, Arcangelo Cataldo, Carlo Cataldo and Lorella Cataldo. Also loved by many nieces, nephews, family members and friends. Visitation will be held at the Incarnation Church, 425 Upham St. Melrose on Tuesday, October 16, 2018 from 4:00-8:00PM. Followed by A Mass of Christian Burial at Incarnation Church on Wednesday, October 17, 2018 at 10:00AM. Burial at Wyoming Cemetery in Melrose. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made in Pasquale's name to Incarnation Church, 425 Upham St. Melrose, MA 02176.
