Obituary of Bruce A. Cascio

In Loving Memory: Bruce Anthony Cascio

Bruce, a cherished family member, respected colleague, and dear friend, has sadly departed from us on April 9, 2024.  It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the loss of an extraordinary individual whose memory will forever remain in our hearts.

Born on December 26, 1951, Bruce was always ‘the man with the plan,’ striding and rolling through life with an unwavering commitment and determination that was an inspiration to everyone who ever met him.  His innate ability to find common ground with others and connect with them generated respect and admiration of everyone who was fortunate enough to cross his path.

Professionally, Bruce broke all the barriers when it came to doing what he wanted and needed.  His wheelchair became the means to engage the world on his own terms.   He was able to drive a tractor trailer, ride horses and motorcycles, and he even learned to fly a plane.  Throughout his time working, whether he was running the business or changing a lug nut for a friend, he always seemed to be able to make time if someone needed help.  His generosity extended beyond his family.  If Bruce was your friend, you had a friend for life. 

In addition to his professional life, Bruce served in the US Navy from 1970 - 1974 where he was stationed on the USS Sierra.  He was honorably discharged and maintained many friendships from that time. 

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Bruce loved his stained-glass work and his steam powered creations, like his lemon ice maker and Stanley Steamer, to name a few.

Bruce was totally devoted to his family and is survived by his wife, Melinda (nee Harisch), his sons Andrew and Patrick and a daughter, Martha, his sisters Roseann and Nancy, as well as many close friends in his local community.  In this time of grief, our hearts go out to all those impacted by this loss, and we extend our deepest sympathies.

A commemorative service to honor the life of Bruce Cascio will be held on April 13 from 3 to 6 pm, at Clark Associates Funeral Home, 4 Woods Bridge Road, Katonah, NY. Friends and family are invited to pay their respects and share in the collective celebration of a life well-lived.

Bruce’s legacy will continue to inspire all who were privileged to know him. Although we grieve today, let us also celebrate a life that was lived to the fullest. 

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the American Diabetes Association or the American Cancer Society. 

Sincerely,

The Family of Bruce Cascio
