Michele (Mike) Scotto of Palm Bay, Fla., and Goshen, N.Y., was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He entered into rest Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026, at age 99.
Mike was predeceased by his wife Maria, grandson Michael, parents Antonio and Elvira, sisters Francesca and Teresa, and brothers Vincenzo, Armando, and Gerardo.
