Joseph Pescetti Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joseph Pescetti on April 5, 2025 at the age of 96.
Born in Mineo, Sicily, on January 15, 1929, came to America, arriving in New York in 1947 at the age of 18. Met Nancy, the love of his life, living happily together for 46 years until her passing. Joe spent over 40 years working in the textile industry, moving to California in 1968 to become the President of the West Coast office. During his time he worked with the White House, many film studios and museums.

Joe will be remembered for his generous nature, his love of life, but most of all for the love of his family.
