Joseph A. Mancini's Obituary
Joseph A. Mancini, 73, of Syracuse, passed away peacefully after a brief illness on Friday, April 21, 2017. He was born in Syracuse, son of the late Joseph and Carmella (Farnett) Mancini. Joe served in the US Army and was Honorably Discharged in 1968.

Joe will be deeply missed.
