Richard “Butch” T. Sacco, 71, passed away and made his way into Heaven on August 22, 2021. He was the loving husband of Trudi Sacco of Palm Bay and together they shared 44 years of dedicated marriage.

Born in Yonkers New York, he was the son of the late Mary Lois and Mario T. Sacco. He was enjoying the relaxed life in Florida after retiring from NYPD and the Department of Social Services in Sullivan County, New York.

He is survived by his sons: Anthony T. Sacco, Robert Cerrone, and Thomas Cerrone; grandchildren: Jenna Sacco, Dexter Cerrone, Brett Cerrone, and Nicholas Cerrone; brother, Dennis Sacco; and sisters, Bridgette Laurens and Grace Martino along with numerous nieces and nephews. Richie was also the proud father of his dogs, Dino and Missy.

The family will be having a private graveside service at Fountainhead Memorial Park where he will be laid to rest.

Richie's passion for life and generosity of spirit inspired everyone he met. His commitment to helping others shined through to family, friends, and far-reaching communities. We are forever grateful for Richie's ability to be so humble as he helped countless people with any problem in their lives. We can only hope to approach his level of greatness. He held a special place in his heart for tirelessly saving rescue dogs that were elderly or had significant health conditions.
