John Migliaccio Obituary
Yorktown Heights - John P. Migliaccio of Yorktown Heights, NY, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 2, 2019 in Mount Kisco, NY. His body could not sustain his heart, spirit and grace, and he succumbed to old age after a living a full and vibrant life.
John, raised in The Bronx, NY, was a graduate of Evander Childs High School and Iona College. He served his country in the US Army and then held several executive positions in Accounting and Purchasing with The New York Life Insurance Company.
John is survived by his wife of 66 years, "my beauty" Connie (Ernano) and five children: his dutiful and compassionate caregivers over the past 2 years, Claudia Santa Donato (Yogi) and Susan Cable (Ed) of Somers, NY, and his dedicated sons, John Jr. of Mahopac, NY, Stephen of Ossining, NY and Mark (Melissa) of W. Granby, CT, as well as six grandchildren whom he adored: Jessica, Emanuel Santa Donato, John III, and Andrew, David and William. He is also survived by two brothers Angelo (Anne) of Yorktown Heights, NY and Donald (Ann) of Jefferson Valley, NY.
John will long be remembered as a gregarious and loyal friend, a fun-loving and committed grandfather, a dedicated and compassionate father, and a loyal and loving husband; words commonly used but rarely true to their meaning. John was nothing short of an ideal role model to be emulated.
The family requests memorial donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (Memphis, TN; www.stjude.org) and/or Calvary Hospital (New York, NY; www.calvaryhospital.org).
