Joseph Sicignano Obituary

Joseph Louis Sicignano, passed away on Oct. 3, 2020, at age 79, in North Port, Florida. Joseph grew up in New Haven, Connecticut, and graduated from Notre Dame High School in West Haven. He attended Stone Business School in preparation for a career he loved in the world of computers.

He married his first wife, Mary Vernon, in 1962 and they had three daughters. He married Linda Pagliaro in 1995, becoming stepfather to her two children.

Joseph absolutely loved good food and wine, and loved sharing these with family and friends at gatherings large and small. He was very social enjoying hobbies such as playing on his company baseball team, league bowling, playing cards with uncles and brothers-in-law, and learning to sail and ski.

Joseph was liked by everybody: coworkers, friends and neighbors. He was active and engaged in life and known as kind, generous, and with a great sense of humor! He will be missed by many.

He is survived by sisters Maryanne Ferrara and Annette Diana, and brother-in-law Edward Diana; daughters Laura, Deborah and Barbara Sicignano, sons-in-law Richard Ormond, Roy Shadbolt, and Michael Smith, respectively; stepchildren Deneb and Anthony; and 15 nieces and nephews.
