Joseph J. Garcia
1934 — October 31, 2022
Joseph John Garcia passed away on Monday, October 31, 2022, at his home in East Greenbush, NY.
Joe was born on July 1, 1934, in Witherbee, NY, the son of Grace Mussari Garcia and Centerio Garcia. His parents had a great influence on his life. Like his mother, who was Italian, Joe enjoyed making his world-famous lasagna. His father, Centerio, immigrated from Spain and passed onto his son an incredibly strong work ethic. Joe received his master’s degree at SUNY Albany and taught at Philip Schuyler School in Albany during his early career. He later owned and ran a successful construction company in Menands, NY until his retirement. Joe was a US Army Korean War Veteran.

He was predeceased by his son James (Bo) M. Garcia, his parents, brothers Simon J. Gutierrez, and Thomas J. Garcia and sister-in-law Gaynelle Gutierrez.
