Joseph Albanese, a devoted son, beloved brother and a cherished uncle, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2025, at the age of 64. Born on September 1, 1961, Joseph left behind a legacy of kindness that touched the lives of many around him.

For over three decades, Joseph dedicated his career to Pilot's Field, where he became known not just for his work ethic but for his unwavering kindness to everyone he encountered. His warmth and generosity left an indelible mark on his colleagues and friends. Joseph's smile and friendly demeanor made every day brighter, and he had a special way of making those around him feel valued and appreciated.

A true enthusiast of sports, Joseph found immense joy in watching the Buffalo Bills and the Sabres. He often gathered with family and friends to cheer on his teams, sharing laughter, camaraderie, and sometimes a friendly debate about the game. Those moments created bonds that will be cherished forever.

Joseph was the beloved son of the late Francesco and Ninfa (nee Capri) Albanese. His memory lives on through his loving siblings: Rose (Ronald) Bell, Anna Albanese, Grace (Bernie) McDonald, and Thomas (Pam) Albanese. As an uncle, he took great pride in his relationship with Ronnie and Rebecca Bell, offering them love and guidance that only an uncle can provide.

As we remember Joseph, we celebrate a life lived with purpose, compassion, and unwavering love. He has left behind a legacy steeped in kindness, one that will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know him. His spirit will undoubtedly endure in the hearts of his family and friends, reminding us to carry forward the principles of empathy and affection he exhibited throughout his life. Please continue to share those memories here.
