Sacco, who passed away peacefully on February 25, 2018 at the age of 
97.
  For the past 25 years Mr. Sacco was a resident of Bayport New York 
and the loving husband of Patricia Sacco. Mr. Sacco was also an 
employee of Hewlett-Packard for over 40 years.
  During World War II, Mr. Sacco enlisted into the Army and after basic 
training was deployed to Northern Africa where his troop fought 
numerous battles.
  After serving his country with honor, Mr. Sacco returned home and 
joined the Patchogue NY VFW post, where he proudly marched in Memorial 
and Veterans Day parades. During the Iraq War Mr. Sacco again showed 
his strong patriotism and commitment to his country by organizing his 
VFW post's efforts of gathering and shipping supplies to our troops 
overseas.
  Those who knew Mr. Sacco have said he was a working man of great 
strength that never took life for granted. An avid runner who showed 
great commitment for health and exercise, including running marathons. 
He was a man that honored his country, his family and the company he 
worked for. A life well lived and a great example to his fellow 
citizens.
