Joseph J. Cerverizzo

Joseph was born in Queens on January 24, 1937, the third child of Isabelle and Joseph Cerverizzo. He was predeceased by his parents and two siblings, his brother Anthony and his sister Helen.

After graduating from Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School, Class of 1955, he joined the Marine Corps and spent much of his time in Japan. Upon his return he worked for the New York Racing Association at Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga as a Pinkerton. He also served as a union representative. He remained with NYRA until his retirement.

In a chance meeting at a family wedding, he met his beloved Penny to whom he was married for over 50 years. All he could talk about was how he missed her since her passing five years ago. He is survived by son Lance.
