Joseph DiNenno Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 29, 2025.
Joseph DiNenno Sr., 77, passed away peacefully in his home in Milford, DE on October 25, 2025. Born and raised on a farm in Thornton, PA, Joe developed a strong work ethic that shaped his life. Many who knew him said he was the hardest-working man they ever met. He spent most of his life self-employed, running his own lumber and excavating businesses. Joe loved the outdoors and cherished his time at his cabin in Wellsboro, PA. When he wasn't driving to Cabela's, he could be found at Pizza Pie doing what he did best- making others laugh. He took great pride in his Ford trucks and John Deere tractors. He was happy to spend the end of his life with his companion, Ronnie Cattano, whom he knew since high school.
He is survived by his children; Lisa, Joseph Jr (Adriana), Teal and Brandi DiNenno; his grandchildren; Kennedy and Sadie DiNenno, Sean, Ciara, and Shane Connell; Branden and Adriene Roehm and six siblings. He was preceded in death by his parents; Anthony J. and Elizabeth E. DiNenno, his sister, Joan DiNenno, and his daughter; Laurie DiNenno.
Friends and family are invited to attend his visitation on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 from 9:30-10:30AM at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, 430 Valleybrook Road, Glen Mills, PA followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 AM. Interment, St. Thomas the Apostle Church Cemetery. Donations in his memory may be to Chester County Hospital (). Online condolences may be made by visiting www.paganofuneralhome.com
