Gaetano Sacco

Gaetano Sacco

Passed comfortably at home, early Friday morning surrounded by his loving family. Gaetano immigrated with his wife and daughters to the North End of Boston from Venticano, AV Italy in 1974. He worked tirelessly to provide, and make a better life, for his family, eventually buying his first home and settling in Everett, MA. Upon retiring, he loved tending his garden, taking his wife shopping and spending time with his children and grandchildren through every milestone life provided. Gaetano was an avid fan of Italian soccer, action movies and all things authentic and Italian. Papa is, and will forever be in our hearts. 

Gaetano is survived by his wife of 61 years, Maria Grazia Sacco (Barletta), who he cherished till his last breath, beloved father of Maria and her husband Michele Vigorito of Saugus, Josephine and her husband Adam Foster of Everett. Loving grandfather of Michael Vigorito Jr., Alessandra, Gaetano and Graziella Foster whom he lived each day for. He was a devoted brother to the late Pasquale Sacco and his wife Donata of Brighton, MA. Gaetano is survived by brother Lorenzo Sacco and his loving sisters Giulia Sacco, Carmelina Sacco, Elena Sacco & Filomena Sacco and sister-in-law Rosina Perry of Roslindale, MA.  He leaves behind so many people that he truly loved, his cousins whom he always said were more like brothers and sisters to him.  Cherished uncle of many beloved nieces and nephews.  He also cherished all his dear friends and neighbors. Gaetano has done so much in his 91 years of life but the one thing that he was most proud of was being a family man. He loved his family!
