Condolence: My Condolences to the Saccente family, John was pure Joy, he will truly be missed. I am grateful that I had a chance to visit with Uncle John in April and hearing all the wonderful stories about Sound View and whistling while they bottled the wine and many more. John will always be in my memories I can still see his smiling face. Blessings to the Saccente Family

Condolence: Jesus says, I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.(in John 14:18).

Condolence: My condolences to the Saccente family. I will always remember the many hours I spent with Johnny riding around in the golf cart at Millwoods.He taught me many life lessons and we had many laughs together....good times.I will miss him.

Condolence: Very sorry for your family's loss. Had the honor of serving with Pappa John on Newington PD for a few years. Good officer, He always had your back. He will be missed by all.

Condolence: I have said it a million times and I will say it once more for all to see and hear: if every school in America had a Johnny, our country would be a much better place. I am so thankful that MY high school had this Johnny! The man connected with every kid that walked through those doors. Race, religion, socioeconomic background.....made no difference- Johnny connected with and was loved by ALL. I recently lost my father and had to take several days off so it saddens me to not be able to attend on Wednesday morning. So I had to express my condolences to his family and thank them for sharing Johnny with us for so many year. WHS and the town of Wethersfield are a better place because of him and he is irreplaceable. Johnny will be forever remembered and missed.

Condolence: John "Pops" Saccente was one of the finest men I have ever known. I am proud and most fortunate to call John my very dear friend. I shall always miss his humor, wit and candidness! He was a very special man!

Condolence: I remember John Since I was in middle school i would go to the school and the first person I would see is him with his smile being so joyful with his greetings. I would also see him most summers at mill woods park in Wethersfield making sure all was well, One day he offered me a ride in the golf cart and we rode across the park him giving me a tour. Last year I first got to see him at the high school as a freshmen he would be postive and happy to see all the childern. I'll miss you Johnny may you rest in peace.

Condolence: John's Family---Would see John at High School sporting events and at Millwoods Mens Softball games and in recent years at Little League games. He had the gift of gab and was a great story teller. What you saw was what you got---just a good guy who commanded respect. A great loss for everyone.Going to be a tough act for anyone to follow. I'd say rest in peace but I don't think John knew how to rest-he loved to be on the go.

Condolence: My sincere sympathy to the Saccente family.Johnny brought joy to the entire WHS family. His "unique" talent for sharing smiles with students and staff will be truly missed. May he rest in peace.

Condolence: I first met John as he was keeping Wethersfield High safe. His friendliness and gentle ways covered a keen eye and alertness while engaged in conversation. John, "a man for all seasons" will remain in the halls of the high school through the years. No-one can replace him!! So sorry for your loss; and may your cherished memories help you find solace in his absence.

Condolence: Saccente Family, Our deepest sympathy at the passing of your precious husband and father. He is celebrating his birthday at the right hand of God. All our grandkids grew up with him at Weth.High and loved him. Michael we think of you often and pray you are well. Lov to you all. Lois and Mike
