SAVERIO (SAM) PARISI – JULY 25, 1944 – FEBRUARY 18, 2021

Saverio "Sam" Parisi graduated with a Bachelor Of Arts degree from Michigan State University. He pursued a successful career in the hospitality industry and held several positions before rising to the rank of VP of Operations at a leading New York City night club.

Sam was the most generous, selfless human being, always helping people along his life's journey. He was a true brother & friend to many. He loved his family, friends & music! He had a keen interest in music (loved 50's, 60's & folk music genres) & dancing. He was an avid musician; at an early age he played the accordion and was a superfine guitar player as an adult. He was a passionate & fantastic dancer, where he won competitions & had several trophies.

He loved his classmates. Along with Joe V, he dedicated himself to planning the reunions, which he truly enjoyed. Sam always kept in touch with all of his friends as long as he could! There are so many friends to mention and give thanks to, however we could not mention them all as it would take up the whole page. A special thanks to his cousin Maryanne, and his caretakers, making him a part of their family – always! A big thank you to all of you who touched his life!

He adored his nephew Stephen and his wife Caroline! His love for his grand niece Charlotte & Grand Nephew Sean was deep & well regarded. He was kind and was always there to help out!

May you rest in peace with our Good Lord, Blessed Mother, of course our Good "Ste Anne" and all of the Angels & Saints in Heaven. This is not goodbye, but so long for now, Sammy! We will always love you & miss you!
