At 107, Frank Sacco Makes It Look Easy


Born in 1914, this Italian American gent from New Haven still plays bocce with the boys on Wooster Street, and he remains in good health.

They don’t make ’em like they used to.

Frank Sacco, quite possibly the oldest person in Connecticut at age 107, is still living life to the fullest.

Lunch with friends, bocce with the boys, and cutting a rug at the local New Haven social club on weekends; yes, it’s safe to say that Sacco is no ordinary centenarian.

He takes no medications, and the former boxer from the neighborhood only suffers from hearing loss.

Be sure to tip your cap on Nov. 28, when the gent from Wooster Street turns 108 years young.
