Notes:

Dr. Samuel C. Morreale of Lewiston, NY, passed away on January 9, 2019 after a brief illness at Roswell Park.  Born on December 21, 1934, he was the son of the late Angelo and Josephine (Licata) Morreale; and beloved husband of Lydia (Dalla Torre) Morreale, who he married on June 3, 1967 at the former Sacred Heart Church.
Dr. Morreale was a graduate of Niagara University and the University of Buffalo Dental School. He is the holder of the Alpha Omega award for excellence in scholarship for attaining the highest scholastic standing for four years of dental study.  He was the recipient of the Barrett Foundation prize, an award given annually to the member of the graduating class whose total average for the entire coursework was the highest.  The American Society of Dentistry also presented him with an award for excellence in children’s dentistry.  In addition, he was elected to membership in the Omicron Kappa Upsilon national honorary dental fraternity.
Dr. Morreale served honorably in the U.S. Air Force as a captain for two years.  He then opened his dental practice in 1962 on Niagara Street, where he enjoyed serving the community for 55 years until his retirement in 2014 from Dental Care Associates at the age of 80.
Dr. Morreale was a talented musician and enjoyed playing saxophone and clarinet.  He was a member of the Niagara Falls Musicians Hall of Fame and Lewiston Jazz Festival committee.  He was incredibly generous, and his generosity went beyond material things.  He was a devout Catholic and longtime, active parishioner at Holy Family Parish at St. Joseph Church and was also involved with Catholic Charities for many years.
In his leisure time, he enjoyed playing the game of golf, especially with a group of guys he spent so much time with.  Together they traveled all over and created numerous memorable stories.
In addition to his lovely wife, Lydia Morreale, of 51 years, he is also survived by his son David Morreale, and daughter Janene (Paul) Sullivan; two granddaughters, Samantha and Sabrina, whom he adored.  In addition, he is also survived by his brother George (Margaret) Morreale, and two sisters, Vera (late Arthur) Fabiano and Jennie (Frank) Borgese.  He was predeceased by his brother Joseph (Rose) Morreale and two sisters, Rose (late Cezar) Sarkees and Mary Morreale.
