Carradino Joseph DiLucido lived a long and amazing life indeed.
He passed away at 97 on December 16th 2014.

Joe was born in Pawtucket Rhode Island on Feb 1st 1917. He was born at home on Water Street, to Joseph and Candida-Chulli DiLucido.

Dino-Joe moved to 19 Cleveland St, North Providence, R. I. at 8 years old, where he formed a passion for art. In 1932, he won a scholarship to the R.I. school of Design.

Dino was drafted into the army in 1943 and received his military training in Maryland, Virginia, the Carolina's, Georgia, and Florida, before shipping overseas to Europe on the Queen Mary. The draft board could not pronounce his first name, so they arbitrarily changed his name to Joseph Carradino DiLucido, for ever after to be known as Joe. Joe was stationed in Europe, serving first in Scotland, then England, then in France "D Day plus 4", and then on to Germany, where he was wounded in Augsburg, and recieved the purple heart.

Upon returning home from the war, Joe married Rose-Granada and had two children, Kara Ann, and Joseph M. DiLucido. Joe took a position with Oliver Johnson and Co, as a paint technician. He subsequently took a position with Muralo paint as a salesman.

Sadly, Joe's wife Rose was diagnosed with cancer and passed away on September 2rd 1974.

Joe's only grandchild, Kia Danielle Herman was born on Dec 3rd 1982 in California. He made numerous trips to California to see his daughter, son in law, and grand daughter.

Joe remarried on Nov 20th 1984 to Eleanor Parise. Upon retiring from Murelo paint at 78 years old, he has enjoyed his later life with his family, hobbies and travel.


Joe was very tenacious, and at age 90 he chose to have successful voluntary knee surgery!
​If there was one thing you could say about Joe DiLucido, it was that he was always up beat and happy.
But don't take my word for that, here is Joe in his own words!

Geometry Dash World is the name of the game in the Geometry Dash series. The game has a fast-paced, rhythm-based setting where players control a cube-shaped character through stages that are full of obstacles.
