Joe Matisco Obituary

Joe Franklin Matisco was born November 16, 1931 in Virginia. His life was called to a halt and he took his books to another classroom on August 24, 2017, and has set up a classroom to continue teaching students. To help others was always his goal and he was very successful, touching many lives in his lifetime. Sports were also his passion, with the Kennedy Cougars being # 1. Jan was the love of his life for 49 years as was their family. Their son, Richard Hunt, preceded Joe in death June 06, 2017. Joe will be greatly missed by family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, October 21st at 12:00 Noon, Elks Lodge #6, 6446 Riverside Blvd. Sacramento.

I worked with Joe at Fremont School for Adults for over 20 years. When I first got there, he took me under his wings until I could fly on my own! Joe was my friend, my colleague, my mentor, and I shall miss him deeply!

Joe was the sweetest man I've ever met. He loved his wife and his pets so much. He was always so willing to help others and his passion for teaching was clear. He will be greatly missed

You were an inspiration to many who walked the halls of JFK. Your undivided attention to assist others is unparalleled. Many children learned through your countless hours of tutoring that KNOWLEDGE would be their key to success. I loved working with you my friend and thoroughly enjoyed your views on life. RIP
