Leo S. Notaro

Leo S. Notaro, 88, of Sanborn, NY, passed into eternal life on October 10, 2020 at Niagara Hospice House, surrounded by his loving family.  Born on April 5, 1932 in Buffalo, NY, he was the son of the late Philip and Mary (Alessi) Notaro.

Leo was self employed as a Sewer and Drain Contractor at GNG Contractors until he retired. He was a faithful Communicant and active member of Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church.  Mr. Notaro enjoyed gardening, taking care of his yard and had a love for bird watching.  Above all, Leo loved spending time with his family.
