Life story
Sam, the eldest of nine children, was born in Rochester, N.Y. to Sandra (Sulli) and Charles Faggiano.
Sam was a devoted and loving father to his three children Charles “Chas” Faggiano (Ryan), Chelsey Faggiano (Vincent Keener), Chandler Faggiano (Josh Allen), granddaughter Devine Keener and a loving, caring life partner to Terri Pfister and a great father figure to her daughter Dakota.
Sam also leaves behind seven brothers and sisters; Charles Faggiano (Christine Binns), Mary Louise Stevens (Rick), Michael Faggiano (Fetia), Steven Faggiano, Michelle Penna (Scott Diehl), Patricia LaRocca (Scott) and Robert Faggiano (Sheri), 18 nieces and nephews as well as several cousins and great nieces and nephews. Sam was preceded in death by his brother Paul Faggiano who passed away in 2014.
While he left us much too soon, he will be long remembered for his endearing smile, quick wit, and willingness to help others. Sam's gentle nature, contagious laugh, and kindness will be greatly missed by many.
