Remembering Cass Avona (Kid Pizza)

[BakerAunt]

I learned yesterday that Cass Avona (Kid Pizza) passed away January 23, 2024. He had been in declining health, fell, was moved into hospice, and apparently died shortly thereafter.

I found out because my Christmas card, posted on Dec. 19, came back on January 31, marked that the addressee was not known. I sent an email to his address a couple of days later, in case I had the wrong address, as he had moved at least three times. Yesterday, a person responded on his email to tell me the details I have related above.

I will miss his occasional phone calls and the baking and cooking knowledge that he shared with us here and on the Baking Circle.

Spread the word

That is sad news. He was such an informative member of the old KA community!

Oh how sad, though not entirely surprising.

I am sorry to hear.

I'm sorry to learn Cass has passed. I do hope his last days were peacful and full of wonderful memories of his life in various kitchens. He was a wealth of information and so generous with helping us when we needed it.

I regret his passing. He was always generous with his knowledge.

[Joan Simpson]

Cass was such a sweetheart and such a great presence on the old Baking Circle. He will be missed.
