Leonard Scaccia Obituary
BEEKMAN - Leonard A. Scaccia, 93, a lifelong area resident, died on March 30, 2019 at Vassar Brothers Medical Center.
Born on June 21, 1925 at home in Arthursburg, he was the son of Cesare and Joanina (Frasca) Scaccia. Leonard worked on the family farm for many years, and then worked as a driver for Teamsters #445 in Newburgh. He was a parishioner of St. Denis Church. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, and loved buying and selling. Lenny was well known for driving around town, proudly displaying his steer horns on the hood of his car, visiting people, and stopping to buy that 'winning' lottery ticket.
Leonard is survived by his first wife, Joan Callahan Scaccia, mother of his three daughters, Linda Johnson and husband Rob, Regina Scaperotti and husband Victor, and Kathleen Scaccia and Ron; his stepdaughter, Lori Ann Stone, daughter of predeceased wife Joan Senior Scaccia, his former wife Helen Kane and her four children; his grandchildren, Jason & Megan Johnson, Patrick Johnson, Nolan Scaperotti, Dominic & Noreen Scaperotti, Moira Scaperotti, Alice & Alex Rouse; and his great-grandchildren, Emmett, Vera, Orla, Ryan and Luna.
The family would like to thank Helen's sons, Rich and Keith for being there.

Uncle Lenny will be missed dearly. I will always remember riding around with him and laughing at his car horn. His laugh was contagious, his love of life and family always genuine. We love you Lenny. May you rest in peace.

Uncle Lenny was quite the character! I'll always remember his huge smile, big hugs, aftershave and laughter. He had a big impact on me as a child. I always enjoyed our time driving Grandma Edie around town every Wednesday and having lunch. My favorite memories are the golf cart with those big red lips on the seat and driving his loud junker trucks through the woods to visit the pigs and pick wildflowers. He always encouraged my individuality and I didn't realize until I was an adult how unique he was. Much love to all of his family from ours, especially during this time of grieving and remembrance.

Lenny and Family,
How you made people smile! I will miss you very, very much. I will always remember your loving embrace ( good, hard hugs!), your firm handshakes, your 2 dollar bills, your garage collection, your stories of nature and farm life, your Italian mom and the people you knew, your mealtime Grace, your one-of-a kind-truck and your compassion. As a child, I'd run to the window at my dad's house, for a marveled look at your deer antler-adorned truck! As a mom, I loved witnessing your pure love for the miracle of babies and children and was honored to have my daughter touched by you. I will always, always remember and love you, Lenny. Look over the family and friends you love so dearly!
Love,
Danielle Scaperotti Churchill

Ohhh Lenny we will all miss you so very much. You were living proof that age is a necessary, but insufficient requirement for growing up! May you stay young forever.
Rest In Peace.
