 In Memoriam All............It is with great sadness that I inform you that Vito Calamita, our shipmate and Vice President DDG17 of the Association, died this past Friday night, November 30. As you all know, Vito had been courageously battling cancer for some time. I last spoke with him about two weeks ago, and I am sure that some of the others of you been in contact with him as well. And John Barone visited him very briefly the afternoon of his death. Though he had lost much weight and strength, Vito was Vito to the end. He will be greatly missed. I just spoke with Vito's brother, Angelo, and have some information regarding arrangements. There will visitation from 4 to 8 PM Wednesday, December 5 at Nardolillo Funeral Home, 1278 Park Avenue, Cranston, Rhode Island 02910 (obituary is on the funeral home's website - http://www.nardolillofh.com/ There will also be visitation at Greenville Funeral Home, 374 Danforth Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07305 on Friday, December 7, and burial on Saturday, December 8. These arrangements are still pending so times are not yet known. Their website is greenvillememorialhome.com.
We thank God for our time with Vito and ask that He be with Vito's family and loved ones as they deal with his loss.
