About the Mission:

The family of Adone Mario "Ed" Cavoli have requested Patriot Guard Riders participation in his military honors funeral services. Adone, 92, passed on March 19, 2023.

A native of the Dolomite mountains of Northern Italy, Adone resided in Schenectady County. He was founder of Cavoli’s Grinding, a knife- sharpening service, still owned and operated by third and fourth generations of the family. He entered the United States Army on 15 March 1951 during the Korean War. While serving, his right leg was smashed by a heavy artillery gun, and he beat the odds with a complete recovery. He was transferred to the Army Reserve on 15 March 1953 and honorably discharged on 17 August 1956 at the rank of Corporal.

Sadly, Adone's wife of 67 years passed just days after him, so this will be a double funeral service.
