Salvatore (Sam) Jerome Cammarata, 97, of Raleigh, formerly of Batavia NY, died peacefully on Sunday, September 22, 2019. He was born on September 18, 1922 in Newark, NJ to Salvatore and Stephanie Cina Cammarata. Sam was a devoted family man and a wonderful husband to his wife of 56 years, Frances Cammarata.
