Joe lived in Middletown before moving to Cromwell where he raised his family and lived the majority of his life. He was a veteran of the Korean War serving in the United States Army. He worked for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft for over thirty years as an electrical supervisor. Joe was a quiet, respectful, proud and hardworking man who never had an unkind word to say. He enjoyed puttering in his garden and loved his family deeply.
Joe is survived by four daughters, Donna Pratesi and her husband Edward of Cromwell, Janice LePore of Rocky Hill, Sandra Aresco and her husband, Louis of Old Saybrook and Chrissie Ziegler and Bruce Difronzo of Kensington; seven grandchildren, Brandon, Kyra, Zak, Kaila, Alex, Daniella, and Michael and one great-grandchild, Landen.
Along with his wife and parents, Joe was predeceased by his son, Joseph W. Corciullo; a brother, Vincent Corciullo and four sisters, Vicky Bartolotta, Josie Randazzo, Angie Augeri and Viola Caretta.
The family would like to thank the staff of the Village at South Farms for loving Joe and giving him exceptional care.

Joe was such a delightful person to be around. I cared for him as if he were a second grandfather. I am so grateful to have met such a loving and kind person. May he rest peacefully. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Corciullo family. So sorry for your loss.

I want to express my sincere condolences to the family over the loss of your loved one. I was so lucky to know Joe in the latter years of his life and I know how much his family meant to him. I extend my deepest sympathies to all in his family who are coping with his loss.

To the Corciullo family,

May your Father rest in peace. He was such a nice, polite, and respectful man who looked after my Father, also a former resident at the Village at South Farms before his passing in May. They spent many dinners together in their dinning room. They didn't say much, a nod, a smile, but they both knew they had each other for support and friendship. That's all they needed, nothing more!

May God bless them, and may they both keep smiling.
