Erando “Cac” CACALLORI
October 19th, 1921 – December 29th, 2003
Erando “Cac” Cacallori lived life to its fullest. Known throughout Seattle as the “Man of Marble”, Cac was a charming, larger than life man. Born in Trenton, New Jersey on October the 19th, 1921, Cac was one of eleven children. He served as an Army medic in WWII. After the war, Cac began working in the stone industry. A few years later, he founded Cacallori Marble, Co. Originally a ”one man show”, Cac grew the business into one of the most well known stone fabrication companies in the Pacific Northwest. The fruits of his labor can be seen adorning many of Seattle’s well known buildings as well as hundreds of residences. Cac loved people. He loved his family, he loved his friends, and he loved and adored all children. Cac is survived by his wife Lucille, son Randy & his wife Colleen, grandchildren Jane & husband Aaron, Peter, and Anthony, and great grandsons George and Stuart. We love you Gramps. Cac’s life will be celebrated at a funeral service at BONNEY-WATSON Washington Memorial, 16445 International Blvd, SeaTac, WA 98188 206 242-1787 on Tuesday, January 6th at 3:00 p.m., Reception following. In honor of Cac’s love for children, please make all remembrances to Children’s Hospital in Seattle. Please sign the online register book at bonneywatson.com.
What a man, what a life, what a kind soul.You will always be in my thoughts and my prayers.May God be with you Cac.
With all love

Only had the pleasure of knowing your Dad and grandpa for a short time. Really enjoyed his big happy smile and friendly voice around the condo. He will be missed.
Cac was a man that once you met him he made an unforgettable impression.
We will always remember and love you!
Our deepest sympathies.
Our condolences to the Cacallori family on the passing of “Cac” senior. I only met him a couple of times at the bowling alley, but he seemed like a person who was full of a love for life and people. Take care and may God be with you.
I am very glad to have known Cac and had the chance to work some with him.One of the most lively personalities I have known. 03 was a bad year for the old school guys, Dick, Paul and Cac, so long guys. Don Hunter.
We enjoyed being neighbors with the Cacalloris’ when they lived on FraterAvenue, in West Seattle. Our property butted up to their’s and since we all had loud voices, we kept in touch yelling over the ravine, to each other. Cac was a good soul, and our sympathy goes out to his family. Dorothy Kaloper and family
Mom and I will always have fond memories of working with Cac, of his great stories and of his inimitable warmth of personality and joy in life. We’ll think of you every time we take our showers!
Our deepest sympathies on the passing of a great man.
Our deepest love and sympathy for you Lucille and Randy at the loss of Cac.
For nearly fifty years we loved him like no one else we’ve ever known. We will always miss him.
With deepest sympathy and pleasant memories of a very fine individual.
We will miss a long-time friend, but we have our memories.
I will miss seeing Cac’s smiling face @ the coffee shop. He was a great presence.
Randy, Colleen, Pete, Jane, and Anthony:
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the rest of your family. Some of my fondest memories growing up involve spending time with your family. I am truly sorry for your loss.

To Cac’s family: Having had the wonderful experience of growing up in Seattle and meeting all of my Dad’s amazing friends – I have had the privilege of knowing people who are “larger than life” … Cac was one of those incredible, memorable, kind, funny and loving people who was definitely much, much, much “larger than life”. My memories of his fine character, love of family and friends, love of life, and always ready sense of humor will always make me smile. I am privileged to have known him. My prayers are with your family, and with Cac. Paula Bianchi
Dear Randy and Family,
We were so sorry to read about the death of your father, Randy. Our sympathy to all of you.

To Cac’s family, our sincerest condolences for the loss of one of the finest persons we have ever known. Cac, we will miss your smiling face visiting unexpectantly just to say hello or deliver some fava bean seeds or something interesting to grow. The exquisite granite work in our home stands as a memorial to everything that is good. Your attention to detail and pride in your work was second to none. We will keep the beans growing from year to year. If your spirit wishes to visit from time to time, we will know you’re around. With great respect and love, Mel and Leena Sturman
Although we only met him a few times, Cac was one of those true lovable characters. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our condolences and sympathies are with all the Cacallori family.
One of the finest people I have ever known. Always a pleasure to be around or to talk with. He always had that act of making others feel good. He will be missed by many both family and friends.
Marine Vaccum Service and Cacallori Marble have been neighbors for a long time. I will truly miss the many visits that Cac and I have had. Our sympathies are with the Cacallori family.
Dearest Randy, Your father was one of my favorite people to visit with. He always spoke highly of his family and friends. We shared chats, lunches and lots of laughter together. He was one of kind and I am deeply saddened by his passing. He always made sure that I knew he was at Meta so we could visit and share our lives together. He loved looking at my family photos and telling me stories of his life and family. When he found out that I am of Itailan decent, he huggged me and said “I knew there was something about you that I liked !!” He knew my Grandfather Emidio Scaringi. I so wanted to be at the memorial today. My thoughts and prayers are with you Erando Randy and your wonderful family. May the Lord bless you and yours. Very Sincerely, Kimberley
