This may be your Joe but I haven't found an obituary as yet or burial.
The Cape Breton Library may be able to help you with an obituary for this Joe to see if it is the one you are looking for.

www.canada411.ca
is an online telephone directory that you may want to use at some point. Several Saccary's are listed for the Glace Bay area.

You may want to contact the catholic churches in Glace Bay to see if they may have records that aren't available on line. Also the funeral home in Glace Bay may also be able to help.

Moses in 1911:

He's transcribed as SEEREY on A*try.
I do wonder if his wife Christena from the 1921 and wife Catherine are the same person.

Maureen,
I have been comparing both the 1911 and 1921 census and yes the dates of birth are the same although the wife on 1921 is called Christina. I know for a fact that she was called Catherine because 'Mary' who is on both censuses being 2 and 12 has a birth record (1908) on ancestry listing moses as her father and Catherine McKinnon as her mother. Catherine's death (nee McKinnon) is in 1942 which lists Moses as her husband (also the informant of her death). So Christina cannot be his second wife but the same person as Catherine..

That makes sense!

Well done.

I know this is an older thread, but ...In case you want to look further once you have found the patriarch, you might want to consider looking at this, as some Nfld. spelled it
The census all appear to say "English" heritage  http://www.rootschat.com/links/01em7/

Was thinking perhaps the surname was a misspell of Zacharie, but I looked for Saccary on the FHS site just for fun, and did find a pocket of the saccary spelling in early Kent England, ( a Sacary in 1642 Surry, a John Sacarie was christened 1582 Ightam Kent)  then I tried Sacrie and found many in various locations, although the very earliest were again in Kent with the odd one in Sussex.   Sakry, Sakre, Sacray, Secray, Sacrey, sacry, Sackry, Sakry, Sachree, Sackree, Seacre,  Seecree, Sacrye even a Soakrey & a Sicr...I may not have listed them all
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01em8/

There was even a marriage of a Saccary in Prussia mid 1700s and a few Sacary births in Galacia, early 19th century which could be the Zachary phonetics...So hard to say if the origins are French or ? ( Just also found some early 1800s  Prussian marriages with spelling Sacrè and Sacre' )

Looking at the U.K. FreeBMD you can find
Sacree, Sacry, Sacrey, Sacret, Sacret, Sacrit, Sacre, even with an accent SACRÉ.

It doesn't appear to be too common a name if these prove to be the same surname...  J.J.

adding:   The surname Sacre/Sacré in England gives a whole raft of results as well....

The book Family Names of the Island of Newfoundland says family history has two brothers coming from Jersey ( Channel Islands) to NFLD.  Family history not always being correct, but certainly feasible.

Valerie, Maureen & Ambly ...Good sleuthing in finding them by the way!

adding:
Hmmm, just found a John Sackorey b. Newfoundland in Halifax Nova Scotia 1891 but he's a decade older than yours, age 58  http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/1891/jpg/30953_148116-00093.jpg

A marriage for a Moses Sacrey, perhaps an uncle... there is an Alice Sacrey as a wittness to a marriage ...
http://ngb.chebucto.org/Vstats/pre-1891-registration-hbr-grace-rc-mar-1879-1889-hg.shtml

Alice died 1909 ( Abraham signed the return) and John in 1913, ages a bit off but they don't name parents.

so adding: at the death of an Abraham 1819 ( actual birthdate listed on site) father John & mother Alice Norket? both born NFLD although she says N.S on census if I recall and I often don't   
I am wondering if this is Northcott...an Alice Northcott was witness to some marriages on that same page as Moses Sacrey's  and other Northcott & Sacrey witnessed each other's marriages.... www.novascotiagenealogy.com
He also says racial origins are Irish as do several other younger Saccarey
