Joseph T. Farinella was called home suddenly August 3, 2019. Beloved husband of the late Rose (nee' Ragusa) Farinella; cherished father of Ramondo (Mary), Frank (Tess), and Little Joe; wonderful grandpa to Michael, Angelina, Ava, Daniel (Linsey), Gina, and Sam; loving great-grandpa to Bella Rose and Henry; dear brother of Josephine Jones; dear uncle, great-uncle, cousin, and a friend to many.
Joe was known to everyone as "Papa Joe" for his great culinary skills. You could never go to his house and not have a plate of food, or a recipe to take with you. He loved gardening, fishing, and spending time with his friends and family. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Visitation will be Sunday, August 11 from 4-8pm at Hoffmeister Colonial Mortuary, 6464 Chippewa Street 63109. A Celebration of Papa Joe's Life will be Monday, August 12 at 10am at Hoffmeister Colonial Chapel, followed by entombment at Resurrection Cemetery.
