Geneva World War II veteran Sammy Ferugia turns 100
Sammy Ferugia, a World War II veteran from Geneva, N.Y., who served in the U.S. Army with General George S. Patton, turned 100 this morning at Water St. Cafe in Geneva. He was showered with love and scratch-off tickets, his favorites, at his favorite stool at the cafe counter. Staff members said it is an honor to celebrate his birthday, but that they celebrate Sammy every day. Ferugia's quick-witted humor and his twinkle in his eye were noted by staff and customers, who said he is adored by all. Lifelong friend Josephine Perry helped get Sammy to the Diner safely this morning and for buying this beautiful cake.
