Edward F. Caputo

Albany- Edward Francis Caputo, 91, passed away peacefully at Teresian House on Friday, October 23, 2020. Ed was born in Fort Edward, N.Y. on July 1, 1929, the son of James and Bertha King Caputo. After graduating from Fort Edward High School, Ed attended Siena College. It was while working part-time at Central Market in Albany that he met Mae Carcia, the result of the matchmaking of Mae’s mother Anna. They continued their courtship throughout Ed’s service in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, marrying at St. Anthony's Church on July 13, 1952. After returning from the service, Ed used his bookkeeping skills working for various businesses throughout his career, including McKinney Steel, Panzieri-Henderson, and others. Always a hard worker, he often took numerous side jobs to support his growing family. Later in life, Ed worked as a code enforcement officer for the City of Albany, retiring at age 65. Ed always enjoyed travel, and loved telling stories of his early cross-country adventures on the road. This love of travel continued through frequent trips with Mae, both on their own and on numerous group bus trips. He loved history and equally enjoyed sharing his knowledge of historical facts with his kids and grandkids. Ed loved games and puzzles and passed this passion on to his family. His grandkids especially would look forward to their card games with Pa. He loved watching old movies and television shows and was an avid fan of the New York Yankees and the New York Giants. Ed was predeceased by his parents and his wife, Mae, who passed away in 2017. Ed is survived by his sister, Lillian Fazio, and his children: Carolann Tymann (Jeffrey), Theresa Scandurra (Joseph), James Caputo (Rhondalaine), Anita Weklar (Patrick), and Jean Caputo-Renteria (José). He also leaves his cherished grandchildren: Gina Norfleet (James), Joseph Scandurra (Elizabeth), Terra Scandurra, Matthew Tymann (Nadia), Christina and Kyle Caputo, Joseph Fremante (Elizabeth), Julia Kapas (Joseph) and Olivia and Tessa Weklar. His beloved great-grandchildren include Arieanna, Dominic, and Nicholas Norfleet, Nina, Isabelle, and Francesca Scandurra, Tabitha Tymann and Sophia Kapas. Ed will also be mourned by several nieces, nephews, and family friends.
