It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Giuseppino (Joe) Faccone on June 12th, 2022, at Burnaby General Hospital at the age of 90 after a long battle with cancer.
He was born in Morrone del Sannio in the province of Campobasso in Italy. Joe joins in heaven, his son Tony, his parents Maria Domenica and Angelo Antonio, and his brother Luigi.
He will be forever remembered by his son Don (Isilda), daughter-in-law Kim, stepdaughters Chan and Stacey (Scott), and his grandchildren, Chris, Marco, Jackie, Steven, Michael, Emily, and Katie as well as great-grandchildren, his sister Maria, many relatives, and friends.
His passions included gardening, working at his brush manufacturing company, telling stories, and cooking for his family. Joe was a hard-working husband, father, and grandfather who was kind, giving, full of life and laughter. His priorities were his family. He took pride in building his company along with his sons.
Prayers will be offered on Tuesday, June 21, 2022, at 8:00 pm at St. Francis of Assisi Parish 2025 Napier Street, Vancouver. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, at 11:30 am, entombment to follow at Ocean View Burial Park-South Mausoleum in Burnaby, BC.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Burnaby General Hospital.
