JOSEPH DeGRADO Obituary

DeGrado, Joseph Ronald III Of Burbank, passed away June 27, 2016. Joseph, 55, succumbed to cancer at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn on Monday evening with his fiancée and daughter by his side. His easy smile and boisterous laugh will be missed by all, especially by his mother, Arlene August; his brother, James August; his fiancée Cathy Lindquist; his daughters, Diana DeGrado and Amanda Piscione; his grandson Leo Piscione; his aunt and uncle, Michael and Lois Wenzel; and his cousins, Jill Wenzel and Nicole Trainor. Joey, lovingly referred to as "the Joker", retired from USF Holland Inc. in November 2013, and loved riding his favorite motorcycle "Jessie". There will not be any memorial services; at his request he wished his family and friends to celebrate his life with a laugh and a smile.
