Joseph Patrick

Giannini

It is with the heaviest hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle, Joseph Patrick Giannini, at the age of 74, on November 18, 2024.

Joe was born on April 3rd, 1950 in Jersey City, New Jersey to Francesca and Joseph Giannini. He grew up in Fairview before moving with his family to West Milford where he resided for almost 30 years.  He enjoyed being active in his community as a member of the Tuckerton Lodge #4 of Free and Accepted Masons, coaching youth sports, and sitting on the Zoning Committee for many years.

He had a long and successful career in sales, working for Playskool Baby, Fisher Price, K Hovnanian, and Coldwell Banker-Riviera Realty, among others.  He had a passion for the outdoors, particularly running, fishing and tending to his fig trees (which rarely produced figs).  His biggest joy in life was connecting with his friends and family, and always being present in their lives.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia, of 49 years; his children Joseph (Beth), Tricia (Steve), Andrea, and two adoring grandchildren Tess and Joseph.
