Our deepest sympathies to the Faraci family. Mr. Faraci always made our visits to one of our favourite restaurants for pizza and salad special with his smile, his stories and his hugs made better because of his nice smelling cologne. His presence will be missed but his spirit will be there when we next visit. Thinking of you all during your time of sadness.

Today my world is torn asunder…
Weeping eyes now wildly blinded…
Heart beat raging like Zeus' thunder…
Fragile soul lies shattered and reminded.
My breath is caught within my chest
Not a movement to my weary bones…
Memories invade like the winds of the west…
Loving thoughts burn deep throughout my home.
Papa Joe, you will forever be within my heart and soul. You were such a great influence to me while growing up. I looked up to you as a daughter would a father because that is how much you meant to me. You always made sure to right me when I was wrong and you kept me on the correct path in life so many times. Your smile always lit up a room like no other and your cologne would linger on for hours when I would steal a hug from you. I smile now through my tears remembering that. Your kindness and generosity will always be known to the people that you came across with in life. You are loved and missed by many, especially me.
I am sorry I was not able to be there to say my final good byes to you and see you off into the afterlife. But know I was there in spirit. My tears will follow you to heaven. Ti Amo.
Dorothy, Vince, Pete, I am terribly sorry for the loss you are suffering with. My condolences to the family. You all are in my prayers. May he rest in peace and know no more suffering and pain. Much love to you all.

I'm so sorry to hear about Mr. Faraci's death. I remember going to Faraci's in Ferguson and how Mr. Faraci was always so kind to my family when we would go in an order pizza. I remember how, as a little girl, he let me go in the back and let me watch them toss pizza dough in the air. May he rest in peace.

To the Faraci Family, Please accept our Deepest Sympathy, in the Loss of dear Joseph Faraci. May he Rest in Peace. Our Thoughts and Prayers for the family thru this difficult time. I Leave this Poem with You,
God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your precious face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest;
God' s Garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew you' d never ever
Get well on earth again.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered " Peace be thine "
Then He took you up to Heaven
With Hands so gentle and kind.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God welcomed you home.
Howard, Therese and Janice Maassen

Dear Faraci Family - I was very sad to learn of Joe's passing. He was a delightful man who has been a dear friend of the Scates/Kraleman family for more than 40 years. The last time I saw Joe, he immediately asked about my family, each by name -- he was great like that. He always made a person feel important enough to take time for a visit. He will be truly missed. Love to you all - Cari Kraleman

Dear Dorothy, Vince, and Pete, as well as the entire Faraci Family, I am sad to hear the news of Joe's passing! He was a good man and will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. I worked with Joe both at the Faraci's in Ballwin as well as the one in Ferguson. I don't know the details of his passing, but I know that, even recently, I have often wondered how you all were doing. I will try to attend his service tomorrow, if at all possible.
