James DiSanto Obituary
At Jim's request, there will be no calling hours.
A memorial mass will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday (September 18) at St. John's Church, Clyde, N.Y., followed by a celebration of life to be held at the Clyde VFW.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to House of John Hospice, 14 Spring St., Clifton Springs, NY 14432.
In life, Jim served his country by joining the Army. Jim was a journeyman certified welder where his career started in 1964 and retired from Local 73 in 1995. Once retired, Jim could be found in a tree stand, Turkey blind, or practicing Shorin-Ryu Karate where he advanced to a fourth degree black belt. Jim lived for his grandchildren and never could tell them no. He valued character over pedigree. Jim looked for the good in each person, and usually found it. These practices shined ever so bright with his very special relationship and caring, for his loving son, David.
Jim will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 26 years, Lucy; son, David; stepdaughters Margaret and Mindy; sister, Dolores (George) Attenboro; brother, Fred (Dorothy) DiSanto; aunt, Florence DeFrank; three nieces; one nephew; many cousins; seven grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and many long time friends.
Jim was predeceased by his brother, Robert (Pat) DiSanto; and grandson, David Fischette Jr.

1964, I´m 13 and Jimmy talks my dad Jack into letting me go coon hunting with him. Jimmy picks me up in his Corvair about 10 at night and we drive into the Montezuma swamp with his two coon dogs in the back seat. Went many times after that first night. Jimmy taught me a lot about the swamp and a lot about life. Always been sorry we lost touch. God speed my friend.
