We only met your father a couple of times but every time we did we could see from his expression how proud he was of you, Krista, and how much he loved spending time with his family. Our prayers are with you and your family, and especially with your Mom.

Joe was a great friend and former IBM colleague for more than forty years. I will miss him tremendously. Joe was the epitome of a true New Yorker, no matter where he was residing at the moment. In so many venues, I will always picture Joe there, raising everyone's spirits with his joie de vivre. Windows on the World, "21", PJ Clarke's; the Brasserie; the Four Seasons - that was Joe. He and his friends knew that Joe was a major Sinatra fan, just as we were. And, Sinatra sang, "The Best is Yet to Come". That song title is inscribed on Frank's tombstone. I am sure that those words resonated with Joe as his courageous final struggle was coming to an end. He now knows how true they were. I can imagine that he is having a Stoli with a twist in Heaven this very day, and Frank is enjoying sharing the occasion with him - in the presence of the Lord. God bless you, Joe. See ya soon!

I want to express my deepest sympathy upon Joe's passing. He was one of the best IBM managers as well as a personal friend to so many of us who worked with him. The many years he devoted to IBM will be long remembered.
To his family, may your memories be a source of comfort as you go through this most difficult time. God bless all who are grieving, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Joe, you were a kind and caring gentleman, with a ready laugh
and smile. I will miss our conversations about the Yankees,
and of course your genial, warm personality. Anyone who met
you became a better person for having known you, and that
is a priceless legacy. God bless....

On Saturday, September 7, 2019, Joseph Cavallo (“Joe”), loving husband and father of two children, succumbed to leukemia at the age of 78 near his home in Ormond Beach, Florida, surrounded by his family. Joe was born on May 25, 1941 in Brooklyn, New York to Donato and Rose Cavallo. After studying finance at St. John’s University and earning a master’s degree from New York University, Joe enjoyed a 30-year career as a financial manager at IBM, often acting as a trusted mentor to those on his team. On May 5, 1968, Joe married Mary Ann, his wife of 51 years, and they later moved to Wyckoff, New Jersey, where they raised two daughters, Krista and Janine.
Joe had a heart-felt passion for New York City (thus earning him the beloved nickname “NYC Joe”), the New York Yankees and dining out at fine restaurants. He often joked that he should have been a restaurant reviewer, and would always carry a well-worn copy of the latest “Zagat” review book wherever he went. He also adored reading novels and Civil War history, and kept a journal in which he rated each book. His latest passion included a dog and cat-sitting business, and he found that dogs and cats alike enjoyed when he would read out loud to them (usually mysteries).
Joe was known for his fun-loving and charismatic personality, being ever the life of the party, while at the same time being the giver of priceless advice that is heeded to this day. Joe touched the lives of all who knew him with his warmth, jovial disposition and passion for enjoying life.
Joe is survived by his wife, Mary Ann, his two daughters, Krista and Janine, his sister, Rosemarie Morris, and five grandchildren, Isabelle, Christina, Griffin, Anabel and Steven. A gathering in celebration of his life will be held on Friday, September 27, 2019 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Vander Plaat Funeral Home, 257 Godwin Avenue, Wyckoff, New Jersey, and a funeral mass will be held on Saturday, September 28, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Elizabeth’s Church,700 Wyckoff Avenue, Wyckoff, New Jersey. In lieu of flowers, kindly consider a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, www.lls.org.
