He was known for his kindness, generosity and many charitable acts.

Joe was a member of the Great Neck Country Club and the New London Elks. He enjoyed watching games of his favorite teams: the Dallas Cowboys, UConn women’s basketball and the New York Yankees.

He is predeceased by his parents, James and Lena (Syracuse) LoGioco. Joe is survived by his wife Winnie LoGioco; a son, Bryan Amrosino, and his wife Erin of Old Saybrook; two grandsons, Dean and Caden; as well as Winnie’s son and grandchildren, with whom Joe built a wonderful relationship.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the Yale New Haven Hospital sixth floor nursing team, who worked tirelessly to give medical care to Joe during his time of need as well as giving love and support to his wife, Winnie.
