Joseph was born on August 16, 1939 in Amato, Catanzaro, Italy. He began his employment in the clothing industry at Sterling Stall. After many enjoyable years of work at the University of Manitoba, he retired in 2011. Everything he did was with great passion and love. Joseph enjoyed his summers in Matlock, tending his garden of prized tomatoes. Come fall, his hobby of wine making began. The Fiorentino Estate winery brought him many awards. He also loved soccer as a player, coach and referee. Joseph was a proud executive member of the Fratallanza Amatese Club and participated yearly in Briscola Tournaments with his son Anthony. He also enjoyed playing bocce in the Mona Lisa Bocce League. However, his greatest joy of late was spending time with his beloved granddaughter Violet.

Very sorry to hear of Jo's passing. He was a terrific man, and his kindness was very evident. My wife and I attended a fundraiser he invited us to, and it was clear that he was well loved. Our thoughts are with his family. - Posted by: Robert Borgersen (Friend) on: Jan 25, 2012

Joe and I worked in Machray Hall. He was a great friend. We shared passion for soccer, Italian dishes, life and family. He is almost always the first person I see when I get to the office, and he has this amazing ability to uplit and brighten my day. We regularly had coffee at the Tim Horton's outlet at the University Centre...the man of the people that he was guarantees lots of people stopping by our table to say hello. Joe was a great man. He was very kind, thoughtful, considerate and always placed others first. He will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Abba Gumel (Friend) on: Jan 25, 2012

It was with sadness when I hear of Joe's passing. I had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Joe when I worked in Machray Hall where Joe also worked. Joe often talked with pride about his wife's cooking and his children's successes. We both shared a fondness for deer hunting so over the years we shared many stories. I retired several months before Joe but we both had looked forward to more time with family. - Posted by: Norm Hunter (Friend) on: Jan 19, 2012
