Richard J. Crescente passed away peacefully on February 9,2024. He is predeceased by his wife Sandra, his parents Victor and Anna (Guarnieri) and his brothers Carmine and Victor. He is survived by his many cousins, sisters-in-law Loretta (Stashko) Crescente and Nancy (Shea) Crescente, nieces and nephews and their spouses and great-nieces and nephews, stepson and grandsons. Richard was born on January 25, 1944, and grew up on Oak Hill Avenue in Endicott, NY where he lived with his wife of 33 years, Sandra. He spent many days cooking with his mother Anna and visiting with his family enjoying a homemade Italian dinner and many holidays. Richard enjoyed spending time playing – and winning at - bingo, attending Mass, watching the NY Yankees, and talking with his many friends and the staff at Hilltop Nursing Home where he spent the last 15 years. We’d like to thank the wonderful staff at Hilltop JGJ Nursing Home for their excellent love and care of Richard over the years. Richard was a kind and gentle soul who had a sincere smile for everyone that he met, and he will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
