John Easevoli

John Easevoli of Key Largo, Fla., and Amagansett died on Jan. 24 at Southampton Hospital of complications of a heart attack he had had several months earlier. He was 76.

“He was a carpenter by trade,” his family said, “but building and loving his family was his proudest achievement.”

Mr. Easevoli was born on July 17, 1940, in Brooklyn, one of the five children of Vincent Easevoli and the former Elvira Bassolino, and grew up there.

While living in Brooklyn he met the former Paula Kalbacher, and on Sept. 21, 1961, they married. A few years later they moved to the East End, where she had a large extended family. They settled in Amagansett, where he worked as a self-employed carpenter.

After he retired, Mr. Easevoli and his wife, who survives him, moved to Key Largo, where they spent winters, returning north to Amagansett each summer.

In addition to his wife, Mr. Easevoli is survived by a son, Vincent Easevoli of Key Largo, and a daughter, Linda Jacobs of Plantation Key, Fla. He is also survived by three sisters, Marie Anderson and Millie Rentos of Florida and Ann Shaw of New Hampshire, and by a brother, Mario Easevoli of Florida. He leaves five grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

Mr. Easevoli was cremated. There will be a service in Key Largo, but arrangements had not yet been made. Donations in his name have been suggested to the Amagansett Ambulance Company, P.O. Box 911, Amagansett 11930-0911.
