Joey was born Aug. 27, 1950, in Geneva and was a son of the late Vrony and Mary (Borsa) Principio. He worked for the City of Geneva, Public Works Department for 33 years. Joey was a great fan of the New York Yankees, The Beatles, and most of all, his grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife, Joann (Zaso) Principio of Geneva; children, Robert Krupcznski, Shannon Russ and Colleen (Ed Dyson) Hennessy, all of Geneva; grandchildren, his "tiger" Mason Russ, his "wooden soldier" Myles Atkinson, and his "princess" Finley Hennessy-Dyson; siblings, John Kimball of Geneva, Cindy (Chuck) Covert of Manchester, and David Principio of Albany; and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and his "little buddy" Luke. Joey was a very honorable man who was loved very much, and will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
In addition to his parents, Joey was predeceased by several aunts and uncles.

Joe always impressed me with his sincerity and the respect he had for others, especially family & friends. Although we didn't see each other much over the years, we always enjoyed each others company and had some great heartfelt conversations. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I will miss you Joe.....

Joanne and family...so sad to hear of Joe's passing. I've known Joe for a lot of year...he was good friends with my brother in highschool and for many years after...remember hearing many stories about Joe when they all hungout together in the 60s and 70s. Then living up the street from you guys for many years, he was a good friend, and a great neighbor. We had a lot of fun when we lived on Bennett. Sid and I have many fond memories of Joe...and we will miss him dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and Joe's family and many, many friends. Bennett Street won't be the same....

my funniest memory of Joey is when the Giants won the play offs for the super bowl all week I heard "Eli's coming" in only a voice that Joey could do. My deepest sympathies to the family he will be sadly missed <3

Joe was a close friend of my family since before I was born. If he was your friend, there was nothing he wouldn't do for you. As goodhearted as there was.
