While Giuseppe was in Italy he worked with his family on the farm. Once he came to Rochester he began working for Eastman Kodak Company as a Pipe fitter in their Chemical Division. Giuseppe met Concetta through his father's aunt. They were eventually married November 13, 1965 at St. Michael's Church in Rochester, NY. Their family quickly grew with Concetta giving birth to their two daughters Rose Michele. Throughout Giuseppe's entire life he enjoyed being outside and working in his garden. He also enjoyed: playing cards, watching the Italian Channel and the News. He was a quiet man who adored his family especially his two grandchildren. Two of the more memorable times spent with family included a family trip to Italy in 2000 and going on a cruise with his family in 2010. He was loved and will be sadly missed.
