Carlo Cadamagnani

Carlo E. Cadamagnani, 81, of Highland, New York, passed away peacefully on December 15, 2025. Born on July 28, 1944, in Albareto di Fontanellato, Parma, Italy, Carlo built a life defined by love, laughter, and hard work. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend whose warmth and humor left lasting impressions on everyone who knew him.
Carlo married his high school sweetheart, Gail Dolan, on February 23, 1965, and together they shared a lifetime of devotion until her passing. A proud family man, he found his greatest joy in spending time with those he loved-celebrating milestones large and small, from weddings to his grandchildren's college graduations.
Known for his generosity, friendliness, and quick wit, Carlo approached life with enthusiasm and an unshakable optimism. Whether cheering on his beloved Giants, sharing a glass of good wine, or gathering around the table for a hearty meal, he found joy in simple pleasures and in the company of his family.
Carlo is survived by his daughters Lisa (Mark) Crnkovich and Julie (Ronnie) Tausek; his sister, Lucia (Tony) DeSantis; and his grandchildren Carly (Keith) Adornetto, Christopher (Olivia) Tausek, Ashley Crnkovich, and great grandchildren Luca and Giuliana Adornetto. Carlo will be remembered with love and gratitude by all who were fortunate to know him.
