Alfred F. Cavalari of New Windsor, NY, entered into rest on Friday, January 13, 2017, passing away comfortably in his sleep at home after a long and brave struggle with Parkinson’s disease. He was 86.
The son of the late Alfred W. and Sophie Antioco Cavalari, he was born on May 26, 1930 in Brooklyn, NY.
He was a self employed attorney in Vails Gate, NY for 30 years. His many former clients, who through the years have expressed their sorrow at having lost their lawyer upon his retirement, are a testament to his life's work. He served his community as Town Attorney and as a Town Justice in New Windsor. The kind statements of support over the years from New Windsor police officers as to what he meant to them as a judge are a testament to his work on the bench and he appreciated hearing them.
A graduate of Cornwall High School and a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Rock Tavern, Al served his country as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy. He was very active in the anti-Vietnam War movement and opposed the war in Iraq. He saw war and tried to stop it.
Survivors include: his loving wife Agnes who cared for him at home the entire time; his three sons who are thankful for all he did for them: Alfred M. Cavalari and his wife Pauline; Scott Cavalari; Christopher Cavalari; four grandchildren: Ian, James, Jesse and Catherine; brothers: Frank and John Cavalari, brother and sister in law Dick and Lucille Carroll of Middletown, NY and numerous nieces and nephews.
There will be no services at the grave or otherwise per Al’s request. Interment will take place in Friend’s Cemetery, Cornwall, NY at the convenience of the family.
The family would like to thank everyone Al ever encountered at the Castle Point VA Medical Center over these many years for the attentive and loving care he received and for everyone we encountered at Hospice, without whom we would have felt lost.
Donations in Al's memory may be made to Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties, 800 Stony Brook Court, Newburgh, NY 12550 or to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Donation Processing, PO Box 5014, Hagerstown, MD 21741-5014.
