This was the same tradition that Julia and her husband carried on in the running of the Annutto Truck Farm and Green Houses for 50 years, serving the needs of many throughout the Mohawk Valley and Oneonta areas, which over the years became truly a successful “family business.” Mrs. Annutto will be sadly missed by her loving family for the love that she offered and will be remembered mostly for her legacy and loyalty in the operation of the family business. Her greatest pleasures in life were surrounded around her family and also tending to flowers at the greenhouse and at home. Survivors include her beloved family; four children, John Annutto and wife Joan of Ilion, Anthony “Junior” Annutto of Herkimer, Carole Stearns of Herkimer and James “Jimmy” Annutto and wife Sandy of Little Falls; in-laws, Harry Ganann of Florida, Joseph DeGristina of Herkimer and Netti Annutto of Syracuse; a half brother, Mike Mustapak of Rochester; her cherished grandchildren, Debbie Dautheimer and husband Phil of Oneonta, Michelle Rowan and husband George of Ilion, Kristin Thompson of Herkimer, Scott Stearns of Herkimer, Phillip, Marissa, Sara and Kyle Annutto of Little Falls, Toni Ann DiGristina of Herkimer, Joseph Annutto and wife Peggy of New Hampshire and Lisa James and husband Chris of Albany; her adored great-grandchildren, Hanna, Brennen, Cameron, Kyle, Alex and Joshua; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Love ya and see ya later” and “Come here Boy and Sarah kiss and hugs love ya.” Survivors include his beloved family, his father and stepmom, Brian and Brenda Hysack of Herkimer, N.Y.; mother and stepdad, Susan and Bruce Hargrove of East Springfield, N.Y.; two brothers, Craig Hysack of East Springfield, Brian Hysack Jr. of Herkimer; a sister, Sarah Hysack of Herkimer; grandparents, Alma Hysack of Herkimer, John and Gail Walrath of East Springfield, Mary and Neil Young of Herkimer and Phyllis DeLosh of Ilion; aunts and uncles, Andrea (Lee) Lasher of Herkimer, Brenda (Ricky) Parr of Louisiana, Lori (Jeff) LeCuyer of North Rose and Sondra Hysack of Herkimer, Anne Patterson of Florida, Randalin Patterson of Lansing, N.Y., Daniel (Michelle) Patterson of Richfield Springs, Paul Young of Mohawk, Laurie Young of Herkimer and Jeffrey Young of Herkimer; cousins, Amber, Seth, Macaulay Hysack, Rebecca Lasher, Christopher Miller, Brennan Parr and Randall Patterson; special friends, Nikki, Jimmy, Don, Kyle and Curt; his canine companion, Harley; many more extended family and friends, too many to mention.
