15 years ago today, my father, Vittorio G. Cavaiuolo Aka: The Roma Tailor; Aka: Mr. Roma; Aka: Mr. C. passed away. It is so hard to believe that it has been 15 years. I miss him every day, especially when I need new pants altered. Last year, while I was going through some of my dad’s papers, I found this envelope addressed to his family. Inside, was a letter to us; an obituary that he wrote for himself that he wanted put in the paper, and information relative to how he wished to be buried. Unfortunately, I did not have this at the time of his death, so on this anniversary of 15 years I wish to share it with all those who knew and loved my father.

This is what he wanted written about him: Mr. Vittorio Cavaiuolo, better known as Roma Tailor, died on date so and so (6/3/2005). Born in San Martino, Avellino on 4-14-27. He came to Lockport on March 26, 1960 engaging in the art of being a Tailor. He is well known by many for his abilities/skills, and his honesty. He wishes to thank his clients for allowing him the opportunity to raise his wonderful and honest family.
