Joseph Sacco Obituary
Born September 1, 1962 in Rome New York to Frank and Michalina Sacco. He was one of six children-Sam, Frank, Cathy, Michael and Greg.
He moved across the country to San Diego, California in February 1982. Opened a restaurant with his siblings and laid down his roots. He met Angela Cortese in 1988 and they married in 1990. They have two daughters, Bianca (Andrew) and Marisa (Jack). Joe was a very proud grandfather of Emilia (5), Stella (3), Leo (11 months) and Josephine (1 week).
He had a love for horse racing and football. His passion for enjoying life was contagious and his infectious smile would light up a room. His legacy of hard work and dedication will live on through his children. He will be terribly missed by all.

My condolences to the entire family. I remember meeting Joe before the wedding and helped with the wedding favors. Angela and Joes wedding was beautiful and their love filled the room. May he rest in eternal peace. Love and Prayers to you all.

I first met Joe when I was asked by Angie to be in their wedding party. He was kind, welcoming and generous. I visited Angie and Joe over the years, most recently at Marissa's wedding, and he was still the same down to earth Joe I first met all those years ago. I know he was a great father and a devoted husband. He will be missed by all. Our thoughts are with his family, Angie, Marissa, Bianca and all his grandchildren. -Antonella and Monte Wilson

Mr. Sacco was the wonderful father of one of my very good high school friends, Bianca. I am so grateful that he opened his both home and his heart to us for many years. I´m very sad to hear of his passing, and my deepest sympathies go out to the entire Sacco family, as well as anyone who had the honor and privilege of knowing him. May he rest in peace.
