Daniel Cappelletti Obituary
November 23, 1939 - October 21, 2018
Daniel was a first generation San Francisco Italian American who was born, raised and lived all his life in San Francisco. He passed away peacefully in his home on Potrero Hill.He is survived by his wife, Carol; son, Daniel (Cristina); brother, John (Beverly) Cappelletti; sister, Rosalind (Bill) Ponig and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. He was preceded in death by his son Kevin.
Dan worked in the construction industry with his brother John as General Contractors, where they continued their father Daniel C. Cappelletti's business which was established in 1922.
Dan used to joke about those guys in brightly colored pants that chased a little white ball around a large grass area (golf). That was before he got hooked on golf and joined the California Golf Club. Dan enjoyed his many friendships there and at other clubs, including the Monte Cristo Club and Italian Athletic Club and others.
You knew you were a friend for life if you survived his nearly bone crushing handshake and rib cracking hug.
Friends may visit from 3:00-9:00pm with The Rosary at 7:00pm on Tuesday October 30 at Duggan's Serra Mortuary, 500 Westlake Ave., Daly City. The Funeral Mass will be held at 10:00am on Wednesday October 31 at St. Paul Catholic Church, Church St. at Valley St., San Francisco. Committal to follow at Italian Cemetery, 540 F St., Colma.

I knew Mr. Cappelletti from the old neighbor hood as we call it "The Mission". He was a very nice guy, would always speak with you when he came back from working his jobs. We always addressed him as "Mr. Cappelletti". Grew up in the mission knowing his two sons Danny and Kevin (deceased).
Great person to have known. My deepest Condolences to Danny and his wife.
Rest in Peace Mr. Cappelletti.

Danny was such a genuinely happy, fun-loving guy. Our family gatherings, whether a family picnic or wedding, were always brightened with his presence and robust laughter. May he rest in peace and may Carol, Danny, Rosalind and John be comforted with all the wonderful memories.

To The Cappelletti Family - My husband and I are so sorry and sad to hear of Dan's passing. We became acquainted with him when he was recommended to us for a remodeling job in our home. We were so comfortable with his mannerisms, knowledge and recommendations. We not only liked him for his profession, but as a friend. Dan, may you RIP. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family. Sincerely, Joe and Yolanda Machi.
