Joseph Vincent Mondelli, Sr., 63, of Boca Raton, FL passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 27, 2013 at home. Joseph was born March 29, 1950 in Bronx, NY, to Frank and Ann Mondelli. Joe was a true humanitarian, peacemaker, and diplomat. An extremely passionate man, he loved his family endlessly and was a very proud Italian. He also had a passion for the arts and knew Italian music, was a movie buff, and loved theatre. He was a fan of baseball, Yankees specifically, and had fun with fantasy football. Joe was the first to crack a joke and could be a sarcastic goof. He was a renowned meatball chef and enjoyed cooking all things Italian. Above all, Joe was an amazing father, friend, and confidant, and a very loving husband. He is survived by wife, Doreen; his children, Joseph, Jr., Michael, and Michelle; step-children, Dean, Danielle, and Josh. Joe also leaves his grandchildren, Chelsea, Michael, Jr., Anthony, Joey, III, Victoria, Juliana, Maddox, Rachel, Chase, Giovanni, Olivia, Julia, and Lorenzo; his mother, Ann Mondelli; his siblings, Vito and Gina; and his beloved puggle, Sabrina.
