Salvatore Bascietto age 87 of Sparta, formerly of Paterson and Haledon, died Thursday, December 10, 2009 with the comfort of his family by his side.
He was born and raised in Vittoria Sicily, Italy. It was here that he started his own business as a tailor. His tailor shop was busy and had several employees when he hired a girl Rosa Latino. Eventually he approached her father and asked him if it he could Marry Rosa. With her father’s permission he asked for Rosa’s hand in marriage at her home in Vittoria. They married on September 25, 1946 at the Sacro Cuore Church in Vittoria, Sicily, Italy. In September of 1967 he moved to the United States and settled in Paterson gaining employment at the Joseph Spinelli Uniform Shop in Paterson. When the Meyer Brothers store opened up in Wayne he immediately sought and got the job as the tailor for the store and worked there for many years before retiring in 1994.
Salvatore was a member of Saint Michaels RC Church, Paterson for many years.
He enjoyed music, singing, dancing and always had a song in his heart. He especially loved ballroom dancing and one of his favorite dance partners was his daughter Joanne. Salvatore is best described as a very caring and loving person who was a true gentleman.
Salvatore was the loving husband of sixty-three years to Rosa(Latino) Bascietto; devoted father of Giombattista Bascietto and his wife Tina of Rome, Italy and Joanne Rossi and her husband Don of Sparta; cherished grandfather of Veronica and Lorenzo Bascietto of Rome, Italy, Melissa, Veronica Rose and Joseph Rossi all of Sparta; loved brother of Maria Giurato and her husband Angelo of Vittoria Sicily Italy and the late Giuseppe Bascietto.
