Joseph Canamucio Obituary

(1928-2020) Joseph F. Canamucio, Sr., 92 of Drexel Hill, passed away peacefully at Taylor hospice on November 22, 2020. Joe was born in Clifton Heights to the late Carmelo and Flavia Canamucio, and was the youngest of their 4 children (Theresa, Josephine and Carmen). Joe is predeceased by only 17 days by his wife of 63 years, Elvira. He is survived by his son Joseph (Olga), his daughter Anne (Lois), his grandchildren Natalie (Brian) and Joseph (Jane), and many nieces and nephews. He was a math teacher, first at Clifton Heights High School and then at Strath Haven High school. In retirement, Joe and Vera’s travels took them all over the world. Joe’s many hobbies included deep sea fishing excursions with his father and his son. He was an avid gardener, a Jeopardy fan, and he enjoyed the NY Times Crossword puzzles. His favorite thing was getting together with family for any occasion. Memorial Mass: Saturday, November 28 at 10:30 am at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Drexel Hill. Services will also be live streamed from the Williams Lombardo Facebook page, so family and friends can celebrate Joe from home if they prefer. In the interest of safety, there will be no visitation prior to mass. Interment: private.

Mr. Canamucio had a profound effect on my life. I know it was his influence that led me to become a software engineer and, later in my career, a rocket and satellite scientist. Thank you, Mr. C!!!

Mr. Canamucio was my favorite teacher because he really cared if we learned what he was teaching us. If I didn't understand a concept, I lifted my left eyebrow and he immediately reexplained it. I was so grateful to him for that and also for picking me to be the Feature editor of the 1961 yearbook.
Thanks to his love of math and his kindness, I was inspired to become a software engineer, ending my 47-year career working gor Lockheed Martin in satellite and rocket science. I will never forget you, Mr. C.

Mr. Canamucio was the best teacher I had! I was in the class of 1961 from Nether Providence High School and thanks to him, I became a software engineer and, for the last seventeen years of my career, a rocket and satellite scientist!

Mr C was without a doubt my all time favorite teacher during my high school career. Our nickname for him was moose. He was a great teacher and I learned a lot and carried it to my college math classes. We liked him so much our Senior year several of us got him a bottle of his favorite whiskey recommended by Joe Profetta and came to the house to surprise him for Christmas. He was a great guy May he rest in peace.

I loved Math, because he made it exciting. His enthusiasm made me love numbers, so much so that I took an MBA in Finance at the Wharton Graduate School! He will be missed,

Mr. Canamucio started me off at Nether Providence HS in wonderful fashion on my way to a career as a mathematics teacher for 42 years. I appreciated his enthusiasm, knowledge, and inspiration. I am very sorry for your loss.
Sincerely, Linda Bertram Selwood
