JOSEPH GIARDINA Obituary
Joseph Giardina Sr., of Amado, passed away Oct. 19, 2016 from throat cancer. Born on Aug. 6, 1946 in Baltimore, Maryland, he resided in Amado for 32 years.
Joe was married to Sue when they moved to Arizona. He worked in ranching and roofing, then finished his career with Custom Touch Painting. He had an outgoing personality and was a loving family man and hard worker, which brought him into contact with many different people over the years. Joe was an incredible man of his word. He fought his battle with throat cancer long and hard. He will be missed and remembered every day by his family.
He loved collecting cars, including his yellow El Camino and his 1979 Stingray Corvette.

My brother Joe was the best brother and friend you could ever have. If you were his friend, it was for life. I thank God daily for the brother He gave me. I thank God I was able to spend time with him last July and have remembrance of seeing his smiling face as we rode in one of his favorite cars. I cherish everything I ever did with him as a child and as an adult. When he passed a part of me went with him. I can't wait to see him again in Heaven. Te Amo Bambino, always your Sis!
