Caito, John – East Greenwich, RI – 2010

Caito, John, P. died at home in East Greenwich on November 29, 2010. He was 57. A civil engineer, he was the founder and president of Caito Corporation in West Warwick.

John loved to learn. He was a graduate of Bishop Hendricken High School, Wentworth Institute of Technology, the University of Rhode Island, and the Brown University Certificate Program in Business Management. Ever curious, with an appreciation for the smallest details of life, he was always thinking, questioning, and figuring out the best way to do something. A generous and loyal friend and an accomplished cook, he was happiest preparing feasts and gathering those he loved around his table. He was a man of diverse interests and endless projects, a beekeeper, an antique car and motorcycle enthusiast and collector, and who loved foraging for mushrooms and feeding his farm animals each day with his daughter Lucia.

He is survived by his wife Laurie Lindemann and their daughter, Lucia Francesca Caito of East Greenwich; and his daughters Marissa and Amanda Caito of Jamestown, and Alicia Caito of Boston; his son Jonathan Caito of Jamestown; his brother Paul and sister-in-law Ann Caito of North Kingstown; his parents Robert and Carolyn Caito of East Greenwich; and a host of family and friends.
