Giuseppe Borsellino

Borsellino, Giuseppe “Joe”

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father and grandfather. Born in Cattolica Eraclea, Provincia Agrigento, Sicily, Italy on November 21, 1939. Passed away peacefully at home on Sunday September 20th, 2020 at the age of 80 with his loving family by his side.

Son of Pietro and Nunzia (DiSalvo) Borsellino. Devoted husband of the late Antonina who passed away on the same day 22 years prior. Proud father of Peter (Svetlana), Nancy and Pina (Rick). Cherished Nonno of Christian, Marc Anthony, Lucas and Nina. Joe will be sadly missed by his siblings the late Antonio (Gina) and Rosa (the late Saverio) and also by his special friend Rosa and his many family and friends.

A heartfelt thank you to all the caring doctors, nurses and care givers who took exceptional care of our dear father and grandfather during his difficult times.


Giuseppe has once again been reunited with his beautiful Nina.
“Forever loved, always remembered.”
