Send FlowersJoseph Cucci Obituary
For over 40 years, Joe was a proud and dedicated member of Ironworkers Local #15. He truly loved his work and took immense pride in his contributions.
Joe will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Jo-Ann; his children, Dawn, Lauren and Joey; and his granddaughter, Demi. He also leaves behind his siblings, Peter, Joanne and Jackie; along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins who held a special place in his heart.
He found happiness in life's simple pleasures: cheering passionately for his beloved Yankees, sharing a cold beer and easy conversation with the many friends he made wherever he went, tending to his thriving garden of tomatoes and fig trees, making some homemade wine, or getting lost in a good history documentary. These everyday moments are what made time with Joe so memorable and will be treasured by all who knew him.
A Celebration of Joe's Life will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, July 23, at Neilan Funeral Home, 48 Grand Street, Niantic.
