WARREN -- Joseph "Joe" Pizzurro, 76, passed away peacefully, Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, at UPMC Pittsburgh Shadyside, surrounded by his loving family.
Born July 10, 1949, in Sicily, Italy, Joe was the son of Giuseppe and Francesca Randazo Pizzurro.

He loved his family and friends deeply, often putting their needs before his own. His devotion and love will be forever remembered by all who knew him.
Joe will be deeply missed by his devoted life partner, Ann, and their children, JoAnn, Francesca, John, Devon and Rosie, together with their significant others. He adored his cherished granddaughters, who brought him endless joy. In addition, he is survived by his children, Danielle, Joe and Frank. Joe's memory will also be honored by his siblings, Angelo (with his wife, DeAnna), Salvator and Peter; and his sister, Anna Maria Randazo of Sicily; along with many beloved nieces, nephews and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents and by his brothers, Francesco "Frank," Antonio "Nino" and Giovanni Pizzurro.
