Joseph GERARDI Obituary
Of Marilla, NY, April 20, 2021 at age 76. Devoted husband, beloved father, and the best PopPop and great-grandfather ever. Joe was predeceased by his parents, the late Salvatore and Bertha Gerardi and his son, the late Joseph W. Gerardi. Survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Rosemary (Kozub) Gerardi; his sons Samuel Gerardi and Jason (Bethany) Gerardi; his daughter Benedetta Gerardi; his brother Michael (Tracy) Gerardi; as well as his extended family. Joe graduated from Maryvale High School in 1962. Joe loved "Jesus, his junk, and motorcycles." But most of all he loved his family. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 1, 2021 at 11 AM at Evangel Assembly of God, 8180 Greiner Rd., Williamsville, NY 14221. Flowers gratefully declined.

What a gift he was to this world and how grateful am I to have crossed the path of he and his beautiful wife. They gracefully offered friendship love and their experience when I lost my son. A gift I could never possible repay.
Me deepest heartfelt sympathy to his family. May the good lord provide comfort to each of you. My prayers are with you today and always.
