Salvatore Accardi Obituary
Salvatore "Sonny" Accardi was born March 16, 1932 and passed away October 6, 2015. He served in the US Navy and was a New York City police officer for 21 years, where he was the recipient of the Medal of Honor for bravery. He also served as a transport officer with the City of Albuquerque for 15 years. He always had a way of brightening everyone's day with a joke or a shoulder to lean on. He will be dearly missed by all of his family and friends.
Sonny is survived by his wife and best friend of 61 years, Lenora; children, Steven and wife Michelle, Cindy, Laura and husband Craig; grandchildren, Bobby, Lysa, Krysta, Tara, CJ, and Ryan and his great-granddaughter, Sicily.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. "When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her weeping and groaning, he groaned within himself and became troubled". Jesus expressed tears when his friend Lazarus died, he knows how it feels to lose a dear loved one and he understands what you and your family is experiencing. May this bring you and your family comfort at this difficult time. (John 11:33)
