Carl Cacioppo Obituary

CARL J. CACIOPPO Carl Cacioppo passed away on Wednesday, May 30, 2007, at 76 years of age. "Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter - silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds-and done a hundred Things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never, lark or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. Carl loved his family and friends and had a lifelong passion for airplanes, flying and fishing. Carl is survived by his loving wife Betty; his sons, Mark Cacioppo and fiancée Marsha Veneble, and Kevin Cacioppo and wife Janet; grandchildren April, Adam and Joseph Cacioppo; and great-grandson, Sam Monostori; his sisters, Marie Shaw, Vivian Sprague, Diane Cacioppo, and brother Jay Cacioppo. Also many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews throughout the country. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 929 Harvard Avenue in Clovis on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, at 12:00 noon. Remembrances may be made to Hinds Hospice, 1616 W. Shaw Ave., Ste. B6, Fresno, Ca 93711; or Fresno Heart Hospital, CEC Unit, 15 E. Audobon Dr., Fresno, Ca 93720.

Dad,

Sometimes we think the cards are not in our favor and sometimes they are indeed a royal flush. I have wanted to tell you something for sometime.
When Kev and I were kids I remember you telling me one time, when I was bragging about some goofy thing or another. You said “ Mark, if you think people will miss you in life then stick your hand in a bucket of water and however long it takes the water to fill the void where your hand was is how long you will be missed” I remember thinking “ Wow, that’s not very long”
Well, let me set the record straight you were wrong!
Dad, you are the greatest Dad anyone could ever want. You taught us and me so much about life. You have been an inspiration to me! From the time I was a kid you always said “You can do anything you put your mind to!” and there is “No such thing as can’t “. Those phrases have formed my entire life and will continue to do so as I live out my life! Something that will never be forgotten and hopefully passed on!
You have not only been a great provider for us when we were growing up but you have been an excellent role model.
We have always had a great run at life and many great talks. You always kept our lives full and involved with our activities, Camping, Boy Scouts, Ducks, Dogs, Pigs, Boating, Fishing, Working on Cars, saving my bacon from my Heart Attack and even Flying!! Wow I could go on forever and ever.
You have taught us simple things that are essential in life, the meaning of our personal word as a key of trust. Always have a solid handshake and always look another in the eye.
Now, as you battle health concerns you continue to be an inspiration with your positive attitude and fortitude.
I thank God that we were all made a family as I know that I would have missed a lot if I was not born a Cacioppo.
The lives that you have touched through your life reach far, whether it is in business or personal, many have been forever changed by your presence and by knowing you.
You always taught us so many things that have been an impact on so many. Your lessons to us are multiplied by the people who our lives have touched. As we have spread our lessons from you to others that know us.
Dad, I cannot write in a page or in thousand of pages what you have taught me or the experiences we have lived together. They are experiences and processes in life that you have taught me and formed who I am as a man. They are things that I will live with forever. No matter what happens to you or me I wanted to let you know you will always be with me however the football is passed. Yes, you have indeed made an impact on so many and I know for a fact that thing about being missed is not true.
I love you Pop and you will always be “My Dad” and you will be missed by me and many others forever!
Love always,
Mark

Betty, Mark, and Kevin,
I will always remember Uncle Carl, and how he so lovingly treated my girls and family. I will always treasure that last long morning chat Chanda and I had Uncle Carl and Aunt Betty that morning after our walk. It was, and still is, special! Carl will be missed, but always remembered.
Love,
Terry, Chanda, Kate,and Kelsy
