Rosario “Sal” Carnazza, age 79 of Wayne, died on Saturday August 9, 2008 with his loving family gathered around him.
Born and raised in Comiso, Italy, he attended the Scuola D’Arte there, learning to cut, carve, and sculpt stone. In 1954 he came to America and settled in Paterson, NJ. There he began working for Bergen County Cut Stone as a stone carver, a career he enjoyed for nearly 25 years. Throughout his career he worked on stone projects including landmarks in Rockefeller Center, several New York City churches, and many others throughout the New York City area. He personally carved the Exxon logo on the stone monument outside their New York City offices. He was a true artisan of his craft.
As a young man, he became pen-pals with an American girl named Gina DiQuattro. After a time, Gina made the trip to Italy and met Rosario. Their love was strong and within a few months they married. Within six months of their wedding they moved to America.
He was blessed with a very large family and an equally large group of friends who all love and respect him dearly. His nieces describe him as the “perfect man”; kind, caring, loyal, and honest. Many people looked up to him simply because of the kind of man he was. He was always very helpful too; driving his nieces wherever they needed to go, helping with their children, picking up from school; you name it, he would help them do it. He was affectionately known as “Uncle Sal” to so many people, too numerous to count, and he will be sadly missed by all of them. He was a member and treasurer of the Comiso Casmene Club in Paterson, for many years as well.
He is survived by his wife of fifty three years, Gina (nee DiQuattro) of Wayne, his son Salvatore of Wayne, one nephew; Salvatore Carnazza and his wife Maria of Italy, three nieces; Tina Buraty and her husband Tony, Frances Longo and her husband Giacomo of Wayne, and Joann and Eric Van Handle of Wayne, one sister-in-law; Lina Carnazza of Italy, and his great-niece and nephew; Francesca and Luca Carnazza of Italy, as well as many more great-nieces and nephews, extended family, and loving friends. He was predeceased in 1995 by his brother Giuseppe Carnazza of Italy.
