Joe Colicchie was the son of Sara Fino (Sam) and Eleanor Colicchie. Adored husband of 35 years to Mona (Ritson) Colicchie; proud and loving father to Aubrey Bennett and husband, Mark, and Jared Colicchie and wife, Meredith; cherished "Pappy" of his only grandson, Mack Bennett, who was always a source of joy and sunshine; deceased is his sister, Anita Colicchie. He is also survived by his sisters, Bernadette Colicchie and Patricia MacPherson. 

Joe's priority in life was always his family, and he shared his affection freely and unconditionally. He was selfless and lived his life with both passion and purpose. His kind heart and amazing smile will forever be honored and celebrated by those who love him. 

An avid fisherman and archery hunter, Joe loved the outdoors, but left this earth much too soon on July 2, 2017, after a full day of fishing with his lifelong friend. 

Joe was a board of directors member of the Potomac Chapter of the ISEE. He has worked for Swanson Industries; Caterpillar, Inc.; Bucyrus International; and Terex Corporation.

There will be a visitation on Saturday, July 8, 2017, at Thomas-Little Funeral Service, Inc., 314 W. Lincoln Ave., McDonald, PA 15057, from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m. A Celebration of Life memorial service will be scheduled for a later date. 

In lieu of flowers, if your heart leads you to it, the family would ask that you donate to your local animal shelter or to Dogs for Vets.
