Joseph Frances Sagneri

January 7, 2021

Joseph Frances Sagneri, age 91, died peacefully at his home on January 7, 2021. He was an extremely caring and considerate person whose ultimate goal in life was to care for his family. Joe was his happiest when he was surrounded by his family and this was how he preferred to spend his time. Joe was born in Oswego, New York in 1929. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War as a Corporal and eventually moved to Syracuse, New York where he lived for 65 years. Joe was a tool and die maker and spent most of his career at General Electric and General Motors and eventually retired from General Motors in 1993. Joe was the ultimate handyman but his big passion was making wine. He made wine his entire life and really enjoyed sharing his wine with friends and relatives.
