World War II veteran Joseph J. Sedita was more than a respected city
and State Supreme Court judge, according to those who knew him. He was a
compassionate man whose outreach to those with mental health and
addiction issues was as admired as was his expertise in matrimonial law.
Judge Sedita, brother of late Buffalo Mayor Frank A. Sedita, died Saturday, eight months after the death of his wife. He was 99.
"He told me many times, 'I love you son, but I want to be with your
mom,' " said his son Joseph V. Sedita. "And now he is. She was the great
love of his life. If there was anything that really lit him up, it was
her."
A Buffalo native, Judge Sedita came of age in the 1930s, during the
Great Depression. He graduated from Grover Cleveland High School and
took postgraduate courses in typing and shorthand, which served him well
his entire life, said his son.
