Albert Gaetano Caiazzo's Obituary
Albert Gaetano Caiazzo of Lewes, DE, passed away on Tuesday, February 28, 2023 at Beebe Healthcare. Born in the Bronx, New York on April 21, 1937, son of the late Albert Caiazzo and Charoline (Persone) Caiazzo.
Albert was a businessman, owning and operating several hair salons and restaurants in the New York area. His artistic and creative talents are reflected in his crafting of fine jewelry and numerous paintings. While retired in Lewes, Delaware he met James O’Dell. Albert and James married several years later. Albert believed that one should be invested in the community and he volunteered for several years at the Community Resource Center of Rehoboth Beach, performing client intervention, and also helping to coordinate food drives. Above all the time spent with those he held dear was what Albert cherished most. He was a loving and devoted husband, brother, uncle, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who had the good fortune to know him.
In addition to his parents, Albert was preceded in death by his brother, Anthony Caiazzo, and his beloved husband, James O’Dell, who passed away on February 28th also, seven years earlier. He is survived by his sister, Cecelia Kern, many extended family members, and friends.
A memorial service will be held on Monday, April 17, 2023, at 11:00 AM at All Saints Episcopal Church, 18 Olive Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE, where friends may visit an hour before the service.
