The family of Joseph Frank Lucci Jr. (74) are deeply saddened to announce his peaceful passing at the Westford Nursing Home on Thursday, May 19, 2022.

He will be missed by his loyal wife of 45 years, Sandra, and his daughters Trina (Dave) Brosseau, Serena (Aaron) Musil and his grandchildren Nathaniel and Madison Brosseau.  Also mourning Joe are his sister Deborah Jardine and brother Chris (Cecilia) Lucci. Joe had many cousins, nephews, nieces and dear friends that are also grieved at his passing.

He was predeceased by his mother Olive, father Joseph Sr., brother Allan, infant brother Ricky, his nephew Kevin and his niece Aleisha.

In his younger years Joe enjoyed basketball, softball, 4-wheeling and taking motorcycle trips with Sandra. His favorite activity was always playing cards with his family and his annual 200 tournament.

Joe worked at the Dorchester Penitentiary for many years. During that time he sustained a work related injury that left him increasingly disabled as the years passed. His interests became more focused on spending time with people, going to movies and dinners and road trips and especially having loved ones gather at his and Sandra’s home in Baie Verte. Their home was the central gathering point for the family for many holidays, events and parties. Joe loved "holding court" and weaving one of his many colorful stories to shock and entertain his gathered crowd.

Please join his loved ones as they celebrate his life on Sunday, May 29, from 2-4 p.m. at Jones Funeral Home, 3 West Main St., Port Elgin. Interment to follow immediately after at the Baie Verte cemetery for family and close friends.

Donations in memory of Joseph may be made to the charity of your choice.
