John P. Migliaccio

MIGLIACCIO, John P. Age 79, of Pocasset, died November 29, 2009. Born in Woburn and raised in Everett, he was the son of the late Dominic and Eleonora (Pellegrini) Migliaccio. After graduating from Everett High School, he joined the US Air Force and served 24 years, stationed in places such as Morocco, Korea and Alaska. He was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal for Meritorious Service. In 1973, he retired as a Master Sergeant. Following his retirement from the Air Force, he worked for Cape Cod Gas Company for 22 years. He was a member of the Air Force Sergeant's Association and American Legion Post 188 in Sandwich. He enjoyed being surrounded by family and friends, especially when he hosted his Labor Day weekend Clam Bake. Renowned for his attention-to-detail, combined with years of having been a First Sergeant, he put his family through their paces as he made certain the myriad preparations would guarantee a great time for all. Sgt. Mig would not have had it any other way! He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Eleanor (Oliver) Migliaccio and their five children: Ellen and her husband Robert Hammond of Pocasset, John Migliaccio of Bourne, Lenore Migliaccio of Framingham, Nora and her husband Raymond Glass of North Falmouth, and Robert and his wife Emily Migliaccio of North Falmouth. Also, seven grandchildren, Anthony, Jarell, Janine, Gina, Nora, Lyvia and Dante, and one great granddaughter, Mia. He was preceded in death by his only sister, Mary DeMaso.
