Joe passed away on August 8th 2021 at age 63, shortly after his cancer diagnosis. Predeceased by his parents Michael P. and Yolanda E. DeLuzio. Survived by his wife, Patricia; children, John, Lara (Roger) Lusk, Frank (Amanda) Holderfield; grandchildren, Bailey & Ellanor Lusk; siblings, Christine (Joseph) Caruana; Michael, James (Sharon Pollock) DeLuzio; mother-in-law Eleanor Thornton, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.
Family was at the center of his life, his sister and brothers were always a source of strength. He was a devoted father who loved his son unconditionally. He met and fell in love with Patricia, and throughout their marriage was an adoring husband. After marriage, his family was that much larger. Being "Papa" to his granddaughters was everything to him. Having come from a close family, he brought joy to all those around him. Gatherings of family and friends were always more fun when Joe arrived. Wherever he went, he made friends. Tools were his trade and he was always generous with his time and talent to help with anything that needed to be done. He loved being outdoors with the sun on his face and the sand under his feet, or on the disc golf course, or just relaxing.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation in Joe's memory to a favorite charity of your choice.
