Louis Caruso

February 26, 1949 - March 18, 2020

Louis Caruso Jr. passed away peacefully Wednesday, March 18, 2020 surrounded by his family with his favorite hymns filling the air and the Holy Bible by his side. Louie was born in North Tarrytown, N.Y. on February 26, 1949 to Louis and Rose Caruso. After high school, Louie attended the New York School of Visual Arts and went on to pursue a career in advertising and computer graphic design. Louie spent the latter part of his life working at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt. Kisco where he served others and always managed to put a smile on someone's face. Louie loved photography, hunting, fishing, traveling the States, scenic car rides and especially studying his road maps always looking for a "short cut"! As a faithful servant to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Louie served on the church board at Fortress Bible Church in Mt. Vernon for over 30 years. He recently served on the board at Harvest Time Church and even during his last days still had the matters of the church in the forefront of his mind. He was a devoted and loving husband for 46 years. He was the best father, father-in-law, brother, brother-in-law and grandfather. He had a way of making all seven grandchildren feel loved and special in his own unique way. Louie was a man of few words, but his actions and deeds spoke the loudest. This is why he was loved by all. Louie is survived by his wife Kathee, daughters Melissa Karaman and her husband Dennis, Leah Poccia and her husband Ciro, sister Rose Theriault and her husband Conrad and grandchildren Mikayla, Dennis, Briana, Ethan, Hailey, Byron, Violet and many other family members and friends. Most importantly, we have the assurance that Louie is with his Savior and one day we will all be together again. It seems like no coincidence that these trying times suit Louie's humble demeanor of not wanting to draw attention to himself. As a family we would have loved to be with you and receive a warm hug, a kiss and to hear your tender words. Please take this time to share your thoughts and memories of Louie on the associated Yorktown Funeral Home webpage. In lieu of flowers, gifts can be sent to Kathee at 4 Glen Ridge Road Hopewell Junction, N.Y. 12533. "Only one life, 'Twill soon be past; Only what's done for Christ will last." Philippians 1:21 "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."
