Mr. Pisano departed this earthly life on Friday, November 25, 2011. He was born in Flint, Michigan on December 18, 1919. He was one of 13 children born to Nick Pisano and Maria Fuscaldo Pisano.
Mr. Pisano had retired from the United States Army after 33 years of dedicated service to our country in which he served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He received numerous awards to include the Purple Heart, Bronze Star Medal, Silver Star Medal, and World War II Victory Medal.
Mr. Pisano was predeceased by his parents; a daughter, Jo Pisano Sellers; 5 sisters and 6 brothers.
Surviving are his loving and devoted wife of 68 years, Georgia Eilene Pisano; a daughter and son-in-law, Mary Pisano Payne and Carl Payne; a sister, Theresa LaRosa; grandchildren, Tammie (Charles) Boyte, Debbie Blanchard (Jason) Cook, John Blanchard, Todd (Kaye) Miles, and Brad Miles; great-grandchildren, Kristina, Kristopher & Katelyn Blanchard, Justin and Ashley Boyte, Phillip Miles, and Lauren Miles (Jason) Ray; great-great grandchildren, Brianna, Gracie, & Savannah Ray and Sandra Miles.
The family wishes to express their deep appreciation to Adult Day Care and Advanced Care Services; also to Harmony Care Hospice and Home Health Care who kept him comfortable in his own home.
We will miss 'Grandpa Spaghetti' 'Joe Blow from Idaho' and his famous saying 'I feel like a feather in the breeze.'

Dear Uncle Joe,
Even though we never got to know each other, I know from my cousin you were a wonderful Dad and Grandpa. Your family is so lucky to have had you. You "float like a feather in the breeze" to your new life. You have so many in Heaven waiting for you. Maybe Iggy will have some good cheap red wine ready for you!! You know, the Vin Rose under the sink in the gallon jug?? I am so happy you are free to dance and sing again. Family will miss you but they know they will see you again when it's time. So much love from me...I so wish I had known you better. Maybe in my next life I will know all of you and know what it is like to feel the love of a great Father and Grandpa. So, today I celebrate the love you shared you whole life with so many. And don't worry...I'll keep Mary in line! I love you, Uncle Joe. Your west coast niece...me.

To Mrs. Pisano, Mary, Kris and family, We are so sorry to hear about Mr. Pisano. You were so good to him and loved him so much. We never got to meet him, but Kris told us so much about him. He talked about him with so much love. It was obvious how much he loved his Grandpa. Treasure your wonderful memories and he will always be with you.
