Gaetano F Pignataro

Resident of San Jose

November 6, 1940 - May 15, 2010

Gaetano courageously and peacefully passed away in his bed the early morning of May 15th after a long, debilitating battle with diabetes and kidney failure. Native to Terravecchia, Italy, he immigrated to the United States in 1966 where he met his late wife Frances Gonzalez, started a family, and became a successful entrepreneur. He is preceded by his beloved wife and son, Frances and David, and is survived by his cherished son, daughter, and grandchildren, Albert, Veronica, Nadia and Alexandria, as well as siblings Frank, Charles, Lida, and Maria, and also his dear friends Annie and Theresa of Hair Power Salon. He will be greatly missed.
