Jeffrey Cavallo Obituary
His family moved to Eastlake Ohio and lived there for many decades. He attended Eastlake North High School and graduated in 1972.
Jeff was professionally known as "Island Jeff", providing steel drum and percussion music for weddings, parties and many assisted living facilities. He also donated many hours of musical talent to area charity events.
In 1993, he played a partial season at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium as the organist for the Cleveland Indians.
He was a Board member of the American Federation of Musicians, Local 4 having served on the executive board since 2005.
He will be missed by many. A memorial service for Jeff is being planned for later this year. Donations can be made to Cleveland Federation of Musicians, Local 4 in his name, to assist local musicians.

A beautiful human being, my memories of Jeff are of a friendly and welcoming man who was also consummate musician. His involvement and participation as a longtime board member of our music union speaks to the interest he had in the care for others.

We were in a band together back in the 70's called the "PJ's". We played at the Eagles Club, the Elks, for weddings, and even Polka Varietys. He was an accomplished musician and great fun to be around. We reconnected via facebook and had many super conversations. I will always remember his warmth and good cheer!

Jeff played at many of our July 4 picnics on our deck in North Royalton. It was because of his music that we hosted so many people.
I can see him and his palm tree and hear that sweet music. RIP Jeff.

Gail and I have had the great pleasure of your company, with North Royalton Kiwanis and our lunches. Your drum is now silent, on earth, but you are no longer in pain. Rest in peace, my good friend, with your Jerry. Love you.
