He is preceded in death by his father, Eliseo; his mother, Philomenia (Benedetto); and his brothers, Leonard, John, Lou, and Frank; sisters-in-law, Clara and Carol. He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Jeannine (Bailey) Fancelli; daughters, JoEllen Vickers, Cathy (Gerry) LeFevre; grandchildren, Shawn (Amber) Vickers, Kevin (Katie) Wanner, Mandy (Tyson) Williams, Chad (Ashley) Wanner, and Brett (Angie) Wanner; great grandchildren, Payton, Caleb, Josephine, Grady, Lindy, Lucy, Quinn, Ella, Libby, Lucas, Gianna, and Mason; brother, Jimmy Fancelli; sister, Pauline (Jim) Rushia; sisters-in-law; Rose Fancelli and Dorothy Fancelli.

He proudly served his country in the US Navy during WWII. He worked as an electrician and was a 55-year member of the IBEW Local Union 683. He was also a founding member of the Flytown club and a member of the GAC. Joe was an avid golfer and proud Ohio State Buckeye fan.

Joe was such a good person and will be greatly missed. I will always remember when my Mother, Esther Bernard, was in the Hospital at the same time as Minnie. At the time, my Mom was not doing well with eating. Joe brought Mom a tomato from his garden. When he found out how much she enjoyed it, he would bring her one everyday when he would visit Minnie. My thoughts and prayers with Joe and all the Family.
