We are saddened to share the death of Samuel Michael Robertucci – affectionately known as “Dad” “Sam” or “Papa”, of Poughkeepsie. Sam passed away on September 5th 2019, surrounded by his daughter and family at Westchester Medical Center.   

Sam was born on September 9th, 1950, he was the only son of, Samuel Robertucci and Rita Nocerino, of the Bronx, New York.

He was fortunate enough to do many things he loved, among them being partners in various deli’s, a Hyde Park Police Officer and most recently the General Manger for Total Bus Corp. in Peekskill.

To know Sam was to love to Sam, he had a love for boating with his marina friends that turned family, Fast pitch softball- his team was remembered as the Fast Pitch Champions. In addition, Sam was honored in the Dutchess County Fastpitch Softball of Fame. He had a love for the New York Mets, and the New York Jets, he could often be found playing quick draw, buying scratch offs for some afternoon fun or even a quick trip to the casino. Sam was always ready to help anyone in need-his generosity and huge heart was the mark he left on so many of us.

He was a loving dad and made countless memories with his family and grandchildren, great grandchildren, spending many weekends on the sidelines of soccer and lacrosse fields, or in the seats for dance recitals. Sam rarely missed an opportunity to show how proud he was and make memories.
