Joseph W. Sorrentino, Jr., 63, of Lancaster, PA, passed away on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, at the Lancaster General Hospital. Born in Brooklyn, NY, he was the son of the late Joseph W.

He had a passion for writing screenplays and produced several short films over the last 8 years. He enjoyed playing poker and liked being at home with family.

A loving husband and father, Joseph is survived by his wife, Lisa, and three children, Christina, Corrine and Nicholas Sorrentino, all of Lancaster. Also surviving are two sisters, Luciel Piteo and Joyce Pirozi, and his brother-in-law Anthony Pirozzi.

Is this the same Joseph Sorrentino who went to PS 254 in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, NY? If so, he was my classmate. Regardless, my sincerest condolences to the family.
