Michael Sufra

On Saturday, January 31, 2026, Michael Sufra peacefully went home to be with the Lord, surrounded by his loving family at the age of 77.

Michael was predeceased by his parents, Antonio and Mariannina; his parents-in-law, Nicholas and Mary Daniels; and his sister-in-law, Melinda Sufra.

Survived by his loving and devoted wife of 48 years, Diane (Daniels); his son, Anthony (Devan); and his cherished grandchildren, Michael and Julianna. He is also survived by his brother, Ralph; his sister, Antoinette (Francesco) Tarzia; his sister-in-law, Pamela (William) Fenlon; his brother-in-law, Michael (Karen) Daniels; along with many cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Michael was a proud Italian American who relocated to Rochester, New York, at the age of 14. At 18, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served his country during the Vietnam War. After returning home, Michael worked as a tailor at Hickey Freeman and later retired from Adrian Jules.

Michael was happiest when surrounded by family and friends, always making sure everyone’s plate and glass were full. His greatest joy in life was spending time with his wife, son, and grandchildren, whom he considered his greatest accomplishment.

Friends may call Thursday (Feb 5th) 4-7 PM at Vay-Schleich and Meeson, 1075 Long Pond Road. His Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday (Feb 6th) 10:30 AM at St. John the Evangelist Church, Greece. Entombment, Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
