Add Memories, Stories & Photos about Joseph

Joe had a hard life with many pitfalls. Although he had some issues coming to terms with his past behaviors, he was, indeed, a loving and giving person. He loved to socialize, enjoyed his family, and adored his grandchildren. He has three sons: Joseph A. Peary (eldest son), Pierino S. Vicere (middle son), and Michael J. Vicere (youngest son from second marriage). He had no blood daughters. Joe has four grandchildren: Joe Peary, Julian Peary, Antonio G. Vicere, Marisa D. Vicere, and Salvator Vicere. He had several step-grandchildren as well. Joe was proud of the Vicere name and asked his son, Pierino, to take pride and honor in the name. His son agreed to carry his father's wish out by passing on as much information about the name as he could gather. Joe would want to be remembered for who he was towards the end of his life, a loving father and companion to his second wife Dorothy. He adored his first wife, Connie up until the day he passed. His love never died; he carried it with him to his grave. We miss him dearly and know he shines down upon us from above.
