Samuel A. Mezzo's Obituary
Samuel A. Mezzo, 83, of Liverpool, passed away peacefully on March 4, 2022. He was born in Syracuse, son of the late Samuel and Philomena “Fannie” (Pistilli) Mezzo. Samuel graduated from North High School and was a state ranked athlete in football. Later in life, he enjoyed coaching for the Eastwood Bears where he loved connecting with the kids.

He is survived by his wife of 50+ years, Maria (Mandarino) Mezzo; three children, Sherry (Robert) Bouchard, Josh (Lisa) Mezzo and Ross Mezzo; five grandchildren; and his brother, Mark (Karen) Mezzo, along with several nieces and nephews.
Samuel’s family would like to express a special thank you to the women that cared for him and allowed him to live at home, also to the caregivers at Loretto that did a wonderful job.
