Salvatore V. Amato

South Yarmouth - Salvatore V. Amato, 83 of Cape Cod, formerly of Medford, MA, passed away suddenly and peacefully surrounded by loved ones at Cape Cod Hospital on Wednesday, October 20, 2021.

Sal was the beloved son of the late Vincenzo and Anna Amato, brother of Mary Salvo, the late Josephine Amato Aloi Windsor, the late Christine Amato LoRusso, the late Leonard Amato and the late Phillip Amato. He was also Life Partner to the late George White.

He leaves behind and will be missed by so many lifelong friends, neighbors, nieces, nephews, and great nieces and great nephews. Sal will be dearly remembered by all as one of the most respected, caring, loving, generous, self-less and compassionate men known to us. As everyone who knew him will attest, he was an incredible cook, loved to travel the world, known for his exquisite dinner parties, always in search of a great antique and enjoyed a good game of tennis. He's been a movie buff since he was a child when he would beg his parents for a nickel to go to the matinee. He treasured his family and friends and was the first to always lend a helping hand.

The world was a better place with Sal here and he will be truly missed by so many. Someone once said that we die twice: Once when we take our last breath and second when the last person we know mentions our name. Please tell your children and grandchildren about this great man. Rest in peace, Sal. We love you.

Visitation will be held in the Hallett Funeral Home 273 Station Avenue, South Yarmouth, MA on Wednesday, October 27, 2021 from 10:00am to 11:00am. Funeral Service will follow at 11:00am. A private burial service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, it is requested that you donate to your favorite charity in his name.
