Charles Macaluso Obituary

My cousin Charles was all class!

Charles was my first cousin and though I did not have contact with him over the years my memories of him are that of guy that was all class. My condolences to his immediate family.

I am so sad to learn of Mac's death. We worked together on various projects starting with Cherrydale in 1995. Mac was always calm and insightful no matter what. Always a smile, always a good thought. He was always very generous with his time and insights. When he talked you listened to your benefit. It was an honor and a pleasure to have known him. Fair winds and a following sea my old friend...

There are no words to espress how saddened I am am about this news.
I met Chuck back In 1982 at RCS.
He was a mentor, teacher, Dad, friends and the list goes on.
This man is a big reason that I am who I am today. I’ve been emailing him with no reply. I was hoping he was away, busy with family stuff..
but now we know he’s crossed over to be with the Angels that he rightfully deserves to be surrounded by.

I will miss our talks, our next lunch, hearing how proud you were of whom I’ve become, despite the statistics set upon some of us.
You will always and always hold a dear place in my heart.
Thank you for being the Dad I was not brought into this world with, the person that believed in me, never judged me.
I love you so deeply, and will miss you terribly.
Love you Chuck,
Maggie Messina

Macaluso family, I am so sorry for your loss. I am an old friend of Mac’s who spent many hours working through corporate restructuring with him. He was always a wise and gentle voice in tough times. I last saw him walking up and down Brookside Road a month or two before the pandemic hit and we promised each other we’d meet for lunch soon but sadly, that opportunity never came. I will miss him greatly, he was a fantastic guy. Please accept my condolences.

To Lynn Macaluso, Please accept our sincere condolences for the passing of your husband.

Mr. Macaluso was a wonderful man and fun to talk with about his life, his home and his family. I often saw him taking a morning walk in Darien while on my way to work. I hope and pray for his family to find happiness in their many memories of him. Fondly, Laurie Griffith

I just wanted to share with Lynn and their children that I was quite astonished when I read the obit to find out that Chuck and I were the same age. I always thought he was older than I because he was so wise, certainly wiser than me, and when faced with a challenging problem, I always sought his counsel. My first venture in overseeing a residential program was immeasurably eased by having the comfort of Chuck in the organization with whom I could confer. I am so grateful and my heart goes out to all of you in this time of heartbreak and sorrow. With kindness, David A. Crenshaw

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Please except my warmest condolences.

Chuck was an inspiration and mentor to me during the days we worked closely together in Residential Care in Dutchess County. I learned so much from him and he was always kind, and caring. His wife Lynn was also a wonderful and caring partner who contributed enormously to the success of our work together in the 1970's. My prayers and love go out to his family. He was a giant of a man with an even bigger heart.
