Joseph Tarantino Obituary

Age 62, of Brookfield, WI. On Friday, March 18, approximately 1:15 AM our beloved husband, father, brother, and friend died unexpectedly shortly after receiving the news that his mother passed away. He is survived by his wife Lucie, children Bob (Colleen), Sherri (Dan) Brunner and Julie (Steve) Miller, sister Rosalie, brother Michael, grandchildren Rachel, Kelsey, Marissa, and Dylan, brother-in-laws Marvin (Cleone) and Larry (Joyce), his best friend Jim (Renee) Krueger, his best buddy Baxter as well as many other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents Mary and Frank and his father Mariano.

On Tuesday, March 22, we will be gathering at St. Dominic's Church in Brookfield (18255 W. Capitol Dr.) from 4 to 7 PM. Funeral Mass 7 PM. Please join us as we reflect upon our time with him and comfort us as we contemplate our future without him.

Joe spent most of his adult life as an electrician for the Village of Shorewood. He worked hard and smart and was fortunate enough to enjoy many good and active years after an early retirement. We're going to miss his never-ending sense of humor, all the help he gave us, and all his intellectual and emotional insight, every Packer Sunday.

Having spent nearly (16) years living in Shorewood (until recently), I will always cherish the friendship I had with Joe. Wherever I saw the bucket truck, I knew I'd find Joe. He was a true gentleman. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
