John Legge, age 59 of Endwell NY, peacefully passed away, surrounded by his wife and daughters on Friday, October 1, 2021 after a courageous battle with Cancer. He is predeceased by his Grandparents, Querino and Mildred Legge, George and Ella Farrell, his Mother in Law, Agnes Sanguinito, and dog and his best pal Bailey. He is survived by his Wife, Lisa, daughters Danielle (Mike) Garner and Ashley; Grandchildren, Kenzie and Liam; parents Fred and Mary Legge; Father in Law, Salvatore Sanguinito; Sister, Lisa Fiacco (Greg); brothers Dave Legge (Stacy); Steve and many in-laws, uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews.
John was a Seton graduate of 1980, as well as graduated from BCC with a degree in Criminal Justice. John was employed with Home Central, Vestal NY, and previously worked for Lowes, Grossmans and Kmart, where he met his wife of 37 years.
John enjoyed spending time with family and friends, especially his grandchildren; he was a lifelong fan of Penn State and the NY Giants, and enjoyed music, especially ELO and Queen. Among many things, he loved the Adirondacks and going to Hunting Camp with the guys.
The last three years brought many obstacles, but John fought each day with strength and humor.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated Monday 11 am at St. Joseph’s Church, 207 Hayes Avenue, Endicott. Entombment will be in Riverhurst Cemetery, Endicott. The family will receive friends at the Allen Memorial Home, 511-513 East Main Street, Endicott, Sunday from 2-5 pm. Please wear Penn State, Blue/White to honor John’s love of Nittany Lions.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in John’s name to the Leukemia Society.

My deepest sympathies to the Legge family. You will all be in my prayers. John graduated a year after our class, but I remember him well. He was a very nice guy then and I respected him a great deal.

I was fortunate enough to meet John through Lowe’s and even after I left would still see him whenever we stopped into Home Central or when he dropped into the brewery with his family. He was truly one of the kindest people I know. My thoughts are with his family during this most difficult loss.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to John's family and friends. John was my manager at Lowes many years ago. He was always so kind and fun to be around - just an all around great man. I occasionally ran into him at the liquor store when I was in the area and always enjoyed catching up with him. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences to John's family and loved ones. John was my friend and mentor. He never let me down and I did my best by him. He taught me a lot and we built an amazing team together that we were proud of. John was always a positive force with a great story, lesson or joke that made difficult work much more bearable. Thank you John for teaching me so much and for all the laughter. Rest in peace.
With sympathy and gratitude,

John was such a big hearted person. He cared deeply for everyone he met and was an amazing person. He made sure to make everyone feel included and like they mattered. He was a great manager, leader and friend! Rest in peace John and know that God is keeping watch over your family and friends.

Lisa, Danielle, Ashley & all of the Legge family, we are so extremely sorry. It is difficult to believe John has passed, especially since he fought so hard. Please know we are thinking of you all and will keep you all in our prayers.
John was an incredibly nice person who always had a smile on his face. We will miss his hugs, and his contagious laugh.
It will be difficult to make garlic knots, as we will think of John.
We will miss him tremendously and are extremely grateful to have been friends with him. We will hold onto the many good times!
Back in the day we used to say this toast: friends may come and friends may go, and friends may peter out, you know, but I (we) will be your friend through thick and thin, peter out or peter in. We are raising our glasses to you John.
With much love,
Mike and Kathy
