Daniel R. Traficante

Daniel lived life to its fullest and was always full of positivity. He was the ultimate family man who unconditionally loved his family. Adopted from an orphanage in Italy at the age of eleven, Daniel came to the United States at the age of thirteen without understanding a word of English. He moved to Brooklyn where he met his loving wife, Linda, when she was fourteen and he was sixteen. Daniel proudly served the United States Army in the Vietnam War. He beat cancer twice and continued to prevail against adversity, all while maintaining his positive outlook on life.

He is survived by his two sons, Brian and Michael, their wives Natalia and Ashlee, as well as his three (3) grandsons, Cooper, Jacob and Shai who were the joy of his life. Daniel and Linda’s constant sacrifices will never be forgotten and have (and will continue to) mold their family into the future.

Like Daniel, they strive to continue living each day to its fullest, to conquer adversity no matter how much the odds are against you, teaching their family to be positive and to follow the golden rule - treat everyone the way that you wish to be treated.

We know that Daniel is at peace with Linda again, and we look forward to the day that we will get to see him again. We love you Dad and Grandpa T!
