Obituary

Yesterday Joe Pellicone's (Retired JFK) father passed away. Below is the info for the arrangements.

Our Dad lived a simple life and as far back as we can remember, he always requested that there be NO FLOWERS at his wake and funeral.

Our Dad battled eye cancer for over 12 years, having many surgeries, radiation and chemo. After fighting with this terrible disease he eventually lost his left eye to a tumor which metastasized and spread to his lungs, liver and bones, and on June 6th at 8:45AM he lost his battle with cancer and passed away. Dad will be waked at:
