Joseph Francis Parella Jr.

Buzzy will be remembered above all for the love he had for his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose greatest joy came from spending time with those he loved. Whether it was celebrating holidays, attending family gatherings, or simply sharing everyday moments, he cherished every opportunity to be surrounded by the people who meant the most to him. He had a special love for dogs, especially Kristen's dog, Brady.

An avid golfer, Buzzy found happiness on the golf course, where he enjoyed not only the game but the friendships it fostered. For him, golf was about more than keeping score—it was about laughter, camaraderie, and making lasting memories with friends. He treasured those rounds and the lifelong friendships that came with them.

Buzzy was the kind of person who never hesitated to lend a helping hand, offer words of encouragement, or be there when someone was in need. His kindness, generosity, and selfless spirit touched countless lives. He believed that helping others was simply the right thing to do, asking for nothing in return.

Those who knew him will remember his unwavering willingness to support family, friends, and neighbors. He had a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Although his presence will be deeply missed, his legacy of love, kindness, generosity, and friendship will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him. His family finds comfort in the many memories they shared and in knowing that his life was one filled with purpose, love, and meaningful connections.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Laurie. He is survived by his three children Daniel (Kim), Robert and Kristen (Jack), his sister Joyce and his three grandchildren Jenna (Preston), Jackson and Dylan.

A celebration of Buzzy’s life will be held on Thursday, July 23rd at Our Lady of the Assumption Parish (35 Old Eagle School Rd, Wayne, PA 19087). A viewing will be held from 10:00am to 11:00am, with a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00am, followed by burial at Calvary Cemetery (2025 Old Gulph Road, Villanova, PA 19085). Family and friends are invited to gather to honor a man who spent his life caring for others, loving his family, and enjoying the simple pleasures of friendship and a day on the golf course.

He will be forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.
