Joseph Charles Ciampa, Jr.

Joseph Charles Ciampa, Jr., 61, of Rocky Hill, passed away suddenly on Sunday, May 1, 2022 at Hartford Hospital. Joe will be dearly missed by his wife of nearly 35 years, Nicolina (DiMaio) Ciampa; his daughter, Elisa (Ciampa) and her husband Bruce Funteral of Rocky Hill; his son, Joseph C. Ciampa, III of Washington D.C.; and two sisters, Paula Ciampa of Rocky Hill and Donna Ciampa of Wethersfield.

Born in Hartford on September 3, 1960, he was the son of the late Joseph Charles, Sr. and Rose Marie (Buccino) Ciampa. He was a Technician at Legrand of West Hartford for 25 years, specializing in welding, tapping and assembly. In his free time, Joe enjoyed watching classic movies on TCM, playing tennis, rooting for the New York Yankees, and listening to his favorite oldies and classic rock from The Beatles to The Beach Boys. His super power was being able to name any song or artist from the 60s, 70s or 80s and his family would always recruit him for music trivia during cruise vacations. He loved to travel with his family where he could sit on the beach for hours, go on long walks outdoors, and find the best local seafood restaurants.

The family will receive relatives and friends from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 8th at the D’Esopo Funeral Chapel, 277 Folly Brook Blvd, Wethersfield. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 9th at St. Josephine Bakhita Parish (St. James Church), 767 Elm St, Rocky Hill. Everyone is asked to meet directly at the church. Burial will follow in Rose Hill Memorial Park, Rocky Hill.
