Joseph Charles DeLaurentis

June 27, 1935- November 11, 2025

After a short illness, Joe passed away on November 11, 2025 in Toronto. He is predeceased by his spouse, Mary Catherine and is survived by his children, Patricia Brehl, Joe (Kelly), Stephen and Rita; his grandchildren, Ryan(Courtenay), Meaghan, Hayley, Taylor (Robbie), Zachary (Anna), Dillon (Tanisha), Joseph and his great grandson, Max. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Joe, Dad, Grandpa was a lifelong sports fan always willing to discuss details and stats of a team or player and to offer his opinion(or two!). He gave his heart to the Buffalo Bills, Toronto Argos, the Leafs and kept the biggest space for the Toronto Blue Jays. He was able to fully enjoy this recent winning season with his Jays. He also loved and enjoyed soulful blues and 40’s and 50’s rock and roll music and shared a deep appreciation of music his entire life.

We would like to express our deep thanks to Joe’s personal support workers at VHA for their ongoing care for and companionship to Joe over the past several years.

As were his wishes, there will be no visitation.A private burial after cremation will be held by the family at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, we ask you to consider honouring Joe’s memory with a donation to the North York Harvest Foodbank https://northyorkharvest.com/donate-today/or a hospital of your choice.
