Joseph A. DiCola, 56

Joseph A. DiCola, 56, of Lititz, passed away on Friday, October 2, 2009 at Ephrata Hospital.

He was the husband of Charlotte A. Meck DiCola, with whom he would have celebrated 27 years of marriage on October 30th. Born in Lancaster, Joe was the son of the late Albert and Nancy Gable DiCola.

Joe had worked in the Inspection Dept. at Armstrong World Industries for over 25 years.

Before his illness, he enjoyed golf, bowling, home repair projects and small appliance repairs. Multiple Sclerosis prevented him from doing many things, but never from being a loving, caring and very proud father .

Joe was of the Catholic faith.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughter, Allison M. married to Clifton Brignola of West Lawn, PA and his brother, David DiCola of Lancaster. He was preceded in death by his brother, Stephen DiCola.

Friends will be received on Thursday from 6-7PM at St Leo The Great Catholic Church, 2427 Marietta Ave., Lancaster, with the Memorial Mass to follow at 7PM, the Rev. Peter Hahn as Celebrant. Interment will be private and at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Joe’s memory to the Activities Dept. at Maple Farms Nursing Center, 604 Oak St.,  Akron, PA 17501. Arrangements by the Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home and Chapel, Lititz  560-5100. To send an online condolence, please visit www.snyderfuneralhome.com

Dear Charlotte & Family,                  
So very sorry to read of your loss of husband Joseph.  I met him briefly when you brought him to St.   Anne’s Church and he seemed like a very courageous man in dealing with his disability.  Although God has taken him home, you’ll always have memories of his love.                        
Peace and God Bless,                    
Jean Garreth

We were so sorry to hear about Joe’s passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Charlotte – I just wanted to get in touch as an old friend from way-back when – that I noticed Joe’s Obit in the paper, and I send you and your family my deepest sympathy. I believe I was at yours and Joe’s wedding so long ago in Lititz.  My prayers are with you.

John
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Your friends in the bindery at The Sheridan Press
