Michael Cascio Obituary

The family of Michael A. Cascio is saddened to announce his passing on Wednesday, October 25, 2023; at home surrounded by his family. Michael was predeceased by his loving wife of 43 years, Joy (Crawford) Cascio. He was born in Jersey City, NJ on August 22, 1942; the youngest son of the late Blase and Anna (Pantliana) Cascio. Michael was a longtime resident of New Rochelle, NY working for United Abrasives before moving his family to Vernon, CT in 1984.

Mike had a great passion for his sports teams, especially the New York Yankees where he regularly brought his children for many years to games and opening day which gave them the opportunity to meet some of the great Yankee Legends. He also loved the New York Giants and the UConn Huskies. For many years, he found happiness in watching his grandchildren enjoy Disney World. Upon his retirement, Michael loved to spend time at his home in Bonita Springs, Florida where he found solitude and made many new snowbird friends that will miss him dearly.

Michael is survived by his daughter, Tammy Grillo and her husband Carl of Vernon, CT; his sons, Keith Cascio and his husband Nick of Tampa, FL and Christopher Cascio and his wife Laura of East Hampton, CT; and his loving daughter-in-law, Gail Cascio of New Rochelle, NY. Michael had a deep pride and love for his grandchildren with whom he leaves behind; Danielle Altman and her husband Jason, Michael Grillo, Crystal Pace and her husband Peter, Michael Anthony Cascio, III, Daniel Cascio, and Charlotte Cascio; along with his great grandchildren, Sophia, Benjamin, and Jacob; and many nieces, nephews, and friends. Along with his wife Joy, Mike was predeceased by his loving companion of 13 years, Judith Ferra, and his son, Michael Anthony, Cascio, Jr.
