Joseph Piccone
April 30, 1943 — June 6, 2019
Joseph Angelo Piccone of West Chester, age 76, passed away on Thursday, June 6, 2019, in the home he built with loving family close by.
A proud Italian, Joseph was born in Civitella Messer Raimondo Italy to Orlando and Assunta (D'Amico) Piccone.
Joseph was loving husband of Linda for 45 years; kind son in law to Anne Jennings; devoted father of Luigi (Bethany), Jessica Scheffer (Joseph), and Gina Scipioni (Americo); caring brother to Renato (Mary); brother in law of Ben Labella and Ruth DeGrazia; amazing Pop Pop to 7 grandchildren;
uncle to his nephews and nieces and dedicated friend to so many that he considered family.
Joseph was predeceased by his loving sister, Philomena Labella.
Joseph spent his early years in Abruzzo and emigrated to the United States in 1955.
He and his family became residents of Ardmore PA surrounded by a wonderfully supportive neighborhood of close family and friends.
Joe began his career as a wood worker and continued all the way up to owning and operating his own successful company, Joseph A. Piccone Inc.
He built multiple housing communities, both residential and commercial projects, and a shopping center.
As an extremely dedicated member of Chester County, Joe spent countless hours and funds supporting the local community and schools.
Inspired by his Italian heritage, he served on the boards of many organizations and clubs in the Philadelphia area. Focusing on the Italian American communities, he was President of the Associazione Regionale Abruzzese
, Vice President of the AIAA (Alliance Italian American Associations), a member of NIAPAC (National Italian American Political Action Committee), a member of Filitalia and was honored with the designation of Cavalieri in the D'Italia Society.
Joe touched so many lives with his love for all and great joy for life.
Spending time with his close friends was one of his favorite things.
He had many interests, some included riding horses, playing the accordion, piano and guitar, food and politics.
He was also an avid traveler and spent time as a travel agent which fueled his own passion for world travel and even taking flying lessons!
Above all, Joe's greatest pride and joy was his family, especially being a Pop Pop.
He always knew what sport Joey was playing, enjoyed teaching Alexander the animal names in Italian, took Max for special treats at Rita's, adored his pretty ladies Julia and Angelina, let his buddy Levi swipe his favorite Pop pop phone and cheered on Lucas as he started standing.
Relatives and friends are invited to greet the family Saturday, June 15, 2019 10:00-11:30 AM at The Donohue Funeral Home, 43 West Lancaster Avenue, Downingtown, PA, 19335 followed by his Funeral Service at 11:30 AM.
