Memories and Condolences
for Frank Cacciatore

Not sure what to say?

My heartfelt condolences to the Cacciatore Family. I worked part time and summers at Cacci Craft back in 1966 as a Junior College student, having fond memories of "Pop" , Frank, and the patience they had with a not too skilled 18 yr. old. I remember one summer that Frank made me "foreman" over four fellow crew members who were much older. They all threatened to quit , and Frank and I laughed as he had to demote me from my one day in management!!! Frank had a very positive influence on me as a youth, as I'm sure he did on others he met in life. Sincerely, Ken Salzer
