"I want to extend my deepest condolences for the loss of your Father-Uncle Joseph. He was a good and kind man and I have warm memories of him over the many visits the families had in Cooksville and Rochester. Thinking of you in your loss. Your cousin Ottavio. "
In loving memory of
Joseph Sirianni
March 2, 1921 - March 10, 2019
Joseph (Joe) Sirianni was born on March 2, 1921 in the small town of Souveria Mannelli, Calabria Italy.
He is preceded in death by his wife Constance (Connie), parents Luigi Rosina Sirianni, sisters Mariantonia Colosimo and Michalena Perri; brothers John, Frank, Ralph Anthony Sirianni. Survived by his children, Roselyn Millett Ralph (Jovy) Sirianni; his grandchildren Joey, Rebecca, Rachel, Robert Johnny.
Joe was a very kind-hearted man, slow to anger and quick to forgive. He enjoyed conversing with people and had a special affinity for children. He was a WWII Army Veteran and a 40 year employee of Baush Lomb. In his spare time, he worked tirelessly in the care of two apartment buildings as well as his own house. Along the way, he found time for an occasional round of golf, annual fishing trips to Canada and camping with his family with the tent-trailer in tow!
When Joe retired, he and Connie became snowbirds, traveling to Florida every winter with increasingly longer stays each year. Over time, he sold the three properties in Rochester, NY and became full-time residents of Boynton Beach, FL. Joe thoroughly enjoyed his retirement and the 55 + community where he resided. While he enjoyed golf, swimming, bocce, shuffleboard and all the many social activities that surrounded him; he especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. Until his final days, his face would light-up with a big smile whenever they came to visit.
Joe was true family man, a loving and devoted husband, caring and nurturing father and a good friend to many. He leaves behind many happy memories for those whose life he touched and will be missed dearly...
