Joseph Fratello

On January 15th our father, Joseph Fratello, passed away from complications due to Parkinson's. He was a champion of the underdog and a true renaissance man who, besides being an accomplished attorney, was a writer, artist, and sportsman. This was in addition to being a great husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and brother. Joseph leaves behind his wife of nearly 62 years, two children, four grandchildren, and tons of others he touched during his time on this earth. He was a gentle giant of a man who never said anything bad about anyone and chose to see only good things in people. We will have a private service for immediate family only to celebrate his life and his moving on to Heaven unshackled by the chains that beset his mortal body. Thank you all who expressed such kind sentiments. He will be greatly missed. David C. Gross Funeral Homes, Central Avenue Chapel in St. Petersburg is serving the family. Service Information
