Joseph Petrucci

Joseph Petrucci, 79 of Clay Point Rd., Alton, NH passed away December 11, 2021 at his home in Alton, after battling lung cancer for a year. Joe was born in Boston, MA June 1, 1942 son of the late Salvatore and Mary (Santilli) Petrucci. He was a long-time resident of Westwood, MA and moved to Alton in 1995. Joe is survived by his long time partner of 17 years Joyce Greenlaw. With Joe being a licensed custom builder for 30 plus years, they built 2 homes together in Alton, traveled to Florida in an RV for the winter months and enjoyed summer rides on the back roads of NH, ME and MA on their motorcycle stopping to enjoy a packed picnic lunch. Joe also enjoyed working on his corvettes, working in his wood shop on crafts and furniture, cooking and entertaining. Let’s not forget Joe was one of the coffee regulars at Katies Kitchen in Wolfeboro, which of course is where Joe relished in Story Telling of his love for life and where he celebrated his “Celebration of Life”. Joe left behind 4 children, a son Joseph Petrucci of Yarmouth, MA, 3 daughters Christine Mather of Norfolk, MA, Nanci-Jo Barnett of Norfolk, MA, Maria Fraga of Westwood, MA a brother Albert Petrucci of Westwood and 11 grandchildren. One granddaughter passed away in 2006. In Joes earlier years, his love for horses grew into a passion he shared with his children. He bought a house in Westwood that had an existing barn where he eventually acquired a handful of horses through out the years. The barn would become a source of much joy, happiness and memories for years. It eventually was turned into a children’s center, “The Barn Yard”, which he built with his youngest daughter, proving his passion for Family. A Gathering of Friends and Family will be held at a later date in Westwood. The Baker-Gagne Funeral Home and Cremation Service of Wolfeboro is assisting the family with the arrangements.
