Michael J. Sacco, 50, of East Syracuse, passed away on Sunday at Community General Hospital after a brief illness surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Syracuse and was a graduate of Syracuse University School of Managem Read Obituary
My dear friends and family,
I am unable to believe my dear cousin and close, lifelong friend is now absent from us.
Michael and I were very close friends. We had disputes but I can say that no matter how exasperated he was with me, I never heard him use expletives or impolite language. He loved his family above all and only spoke of them with reverence. I can not remember any of his interests that did not revolve around them.
Michael knew that I do not accept the notion that life begins with birth and ends with death. Our genes are passed to our offspring exactly as they were passed to us.
We didn't exist for an infinity before we caught the contagious incongruity of life. A short interval later we resume our natural sessile state for another infinity and take our repose in its absolute certainty.
My friend is alive in his beautiful children. His essence is propagated through them. Each of them is his and Kristine's genetic manifestation. His life is continuing because of Michael, Joseph and Nicole.
Kristine was absolutely determined they would live to enjoy the gifts life provides and carry the genetic memory of thousands of the ancestors we share as expressed in our parents. Thank you, Kristine.
We can grieve only for and with the living. When we are glutted with despair can we can recall the very positive things Michael brought to us. He brought many good things to us.
Kristine, Joseph Michael, Michael Joseph, Nicole, Uncle Joe, Patrick, Billy and the rest of our common friends and family, please be strong and endure this as we have when we were denied the presence and comfort of another of us.
I will carry my grief quietly but permanently.
Michael, you will always be my friend and close cousin. I am diminished by your absence. I am watching over Michael, Joseph and Nicole for you. I will protect them and do my best to corrupt them - just like I tried to corrupt you.
Rest now.
Mark

Elaine, I am so sorry to hear about your brother. My deepest sympathy. Anne (Bersani)Bosco
Kristine, Michael, Joseph, Nicole and extended family: I am so sorry for your loss. I am shocked and saddened to hear about Mike's passing...he was a great co-worker and friend to me during the time we worked together. I am sorry that we lost contact after he changed jobs and our family moved. I will be praying for your family in the days to come...I know that he loved you all more than anything because you were all that he talked about. Mike was one of a kind and he will be sadly missed. Hugs to you all. Jason and Deana Amlott & Family
Kristine and family - My wife and I are very saddened to learn of Mike's passing and our prayers go out to you and the children. I spent many years working with him at Carrier and in recent years I thought of him often. His sense of humor was the best and my memories of him would always bring a smile to my face, so I can only imagine the heart break that you must feel.
Christine, Michael, Joseph and Nicole- I love all of you and I am so sorry for the pain you are going through. Mike had a big heart which allowed him to help my family and I in many ways. He made me laugh so many times and I have a great deal of memories that will never be forgotten.
My Mom and Dad also feel the same. He even made my father laugh which not many people could.
Please know he will be missed and may God bless all of you.
I remember Mike from our time at Carrier. The Screw Compressor days. MIke was a buyer and we worked many long hours kicking the new product line off. He talked a mile a minute and he always had a story or joke to tell. Also Loved and talked about his family often. Mike will be sorely missed. My condolences.
Ted Cobb
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sacco family. Although I have not seen Mike in many years he will forever be rooted in my memories. May God bless your family.
