                     VINCENT CACACE DIES SUDDENLY

    Widely Known Contracting Stevedore Drops Dead In Kitchen of His Home
 
Vincent Cacace, aged 69, widely known contracting stevedore, was found dead on 
the floor of the kitchen in his home, Stop 4 1/2 Willoughby, last night after 
the door had been broken down by policemen summoned by his sister, Mrs. Rosa 
Scelzi, of 214 West Twentieth Street. Dr. R. Lloyd Williams, city coroner and 
Detective Nowitzky, who investigated the case and viewed the body were of the 
opinion that death was due to apoplexy.
Mrs. Scelzi became alarmed at her brother's failure to answer the telephone and 
with several friends went to his home at Willoughby. They found the door locked 
and called police to help them open it. Mr. Cacace apparently had been in good 
health up until the time of his death which is believed to have occurred about 6 
o'clock.
Mr. Cacace was a native of Italy, but had been a resident of Norfolk for 40 
years. He was widely known in shipping circles and was a member of the Norfolk 
lodges of Elks and Eagles and of the Italian Benevolent Society.
Besides his wife, Mrs. Mary Antoinette Cacace, he is survived by five sons, 
Joseph M., Michael J., Vincent Jr., Charles M. and John T. Cacace,; three 
daughters, Mrs. C.L. Clark, Mrs. N.S. Clibourne and Miss Carmella Cacace; six 
grandchildren, a number of nieces and nephews and two sisters, Mrs. Rosa Scelzi 
and Mrs. Theresa Mosca, all of Norfolk and one brother, Michael Cacace, of 
Baltimore.
Pending funeral arrangements the body was taken to the funeral home of H.D. 
Oliver, 610-612 East Freemason Street.
