Colombo Cautela Obituary
1923 - 2019
Colombo Cautela, age 95 of Worthington, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Saturday, August 31, 2019. Colombo was born in Cleveland, OH on September 10, 1923 to parents Sebastiano and Felicia (DiLoreto) Cautela. He was co-owner of Cautela Brothers Cement Contractors with his brother Simone for more than 30 years. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Giulia, daughter Esther, son Roberto, son-in-law Kent R. Klawon Sr, brothers Simone (Ida), Quintino, Ottavio; brothers-in-law Daniele Presutti, Lorenzo Carducci, Antonio D'Alessandro; sisters Rosa (Pasquale) Vitullo, Elena (Pat) Colatruglio, and Sestina Carducci (Frank) Pecoraro.

Colombo was a long-time member of St Elizabeth Catholic Church, and a loving and devoted father and husband. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He will be remembered for his amazing garden of fresh fruits and vegetables that he tended to for many years, his homemade wine, his generosity and his love of animals. He was an amazing cook, which surfaced after his wife's death, conjuring up delicious soups made from scratch. Family will receive friends on Friday, September 27 from 5-8 PM at Schoedinger Worthington Chapel, 6699 N High St, Worthington, OH 43085. Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Saturday, September 28 @ 10:30 AM at Resurrection Cemetery Chapel, 9571 N High St, Lewis Center, OH 43035. Father Charles Cotton, celebrant. The family would like to thank OhioHealth Hospice and Capital City Hospice for their care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to either hospice, the Kidney Foundation, American Heart Association, St. Elizabeth Church or the Capital Area Humane Society.
