Larry Calufetti was Mr. Sunshine to everyone who knew him. His happy demeanor always won people over, his family said.
“He has so many friends. He took the time to talk to everyone. He was known for that,” his daughters, Erin Calufetti-Schumacher and Jenna Auckland, said Thursday.
Calufetti, 65, died Monday after fighting multiple myeloma, a type of cancer, since 2014.
When a shoulder injury ended Calufetti’s baseball career — he was in the New York Mets‘ farm system from 1973 to 1976 — the native of Harrisburg, Ill., moved to South Florida and started a window-cleaning business by driving around with a ladder hanging off the back of his Cadillac.
