Harold W. (Socky) Traganza, 86, passed away at home on March 15, 2022. He was born on May 8, 1935, to the late William and Helen (Wood) Traganza.
Socky was a veteran of the Army after graduating from Roeliff Jansen School in 1954.
Socky’s love for animals inspired him to start a career raising and racing Standardbred horses all over the east coast. He was an owner, breeder, trainer, and driver until the age of 80.
 

He is survived by his daughter Stacey and her husband Brian Faulisi of West Glenville.
 

At his request there will be no services.
