In the tapestry of our lives, there are those rare souls who weave threads of everlasting impact, leaving an indelible mark long after they've departed.
Don Cayo embodied such a spirit. His legacy is intricately intertwined with the lives he graced and the inspiration he ignited within countless hearts. With a mere word or gesture, he possessed the power to sway emotions, provoke thoughts, and evoke laughter or tears.
Yet, above all, Don will forever be cherished for the radiant smiles he effortlessly bestowed upon those closest to him and even upon strangers in need. His presence, a divine intervention, reminded us that each encounter held the potential to make a profound difference.
Don Cayo Sr.
Father, grandfather, great-grandfather, veteran, and friend to all.
Born April 25, 1935. Sadly left us on March 1, 2024.
A smile costs nothing but gives much,
It enriches those who receive,
Without making poorer, those who give,
It takes but a moment,
But the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.·
None is too rich or mighty or kingly,
That he can get along without it,
And none is so poor, but that he can be,
A smile creates happiness in the home,
Fosters goodwill in business,
And is a countersign of friendship,
It brings rest to the weary,
Cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad -,
And is nature's best answer to the troubled.
Yet it can not be bought, begged, borrowed
Or stolen,
For it is something that is of no value,
To anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give a smile,
So, give them one of yours,
As none needs a smile so much as he who,
Has no more to give.
