Stephen Caruso Obituary
Stephen Caruso, age 63, of Sandwich, passed away on Thursday, February 6, 2025, at St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford after a period of declining health.
Born in Boston, he was the son of the late Emilio D. and Catherine T. (Cronin) Caruso.
He enjoyed spending time at community connections during the day, being outside on the hammock enjoying the day, and going for walks with the residential home staff.

He was the brother of the late Michael Caruso.
The family would like to graciously thank the staff from "23 Toms Way" who took great care of him and were his best advocates. They were like family for over twenty years.
