Born Monday November 15, 1943 in Malden, Missouri to Eunetta Mackie Becchetti and Frederick Becchetti who have both predeceased him. Over the past 15 years Joe had many major illnesses but strong faith in God and a mighty will to live pulled him through until he succumbed to lung cancer. Joe was a member of St. Mary's Parrish of Dayton. He worked for various companies throughout the greater Dayton area in building maintenance. He was a great chef who enjoyed cooking, was very talented in the makings of ceramics and various arts and crafts, and had a green thumb for gardening and flowers. Joe was an animal lover and especially enjoyed children, fishing, and the great outdoors. He will sadly be missed by all who knew and loved him. He is survived by his sister (who was by his side during his illness and time of passing) Barbara (Larry) Moore of New Carlisle, Ohio; nephew Mark (Tina) Moore of New Carlisle; great nieces and nephew Dawn Thomas and Cora Moore of New Carlisle and Anthony Moore of Beavercreek, Ohio; and an aunt and many special cousins. Also survived by his step mother Ann Becchetti; two half-brothers and half-sister: Frederick, Thomas and Mary Ann Becchetti, all of Dunmore, PA.
