He passed away peacefully on May 27, at Peace Health of SWW with family by his side and soothing sounds of Sinatra playing as a fitting tribute. He served in the Air Force and later earned his degree to become an electrical engineer. Any electronic gadgetry was an amusement for Sy, he had many hobbies including; fishing, cooking up new recipes, woodworking, hydroponics, playing cards, and having coffee with his friends at Larry’s Diner. His love for family was immeasurable and family came first-no matter what! Anyone who met Sy instantly became drawn to him due to his lively personality and loving nature. He was a father, father-in-law, grandfather, great-grand father, uncle, great uncle, and friend. Lastly, he was a devoted son to Marietta and Eugenio. He served as the primary caretaker for his mother for over 35 years putting her needs well before his own. She taught him the old world style of Italian home cooking, and he lovingly passed that tradition down to his own family. He will certainly be missed by all, but not forgotten.
