Joseph Riggio, age 57 of Wayne, died unexpectedly on March 11, 2021.
Born in Brooklyn, Joey moved to Wayne with his parents in 1967. He graduated from Wayne Valley with the class of 1981 and began working as a locksmith in New York City. Joe loved fishing and won his first fishing trophy at Don Bosco Camp in Newton, NJ when he was just a little kid. He knew all the local fishing spots. He also learned deer hunting from his dad, and Joe was successful almost every deer season that they hunted together. His father recalls many good memories from their time enjoying the outdoors.
Like so many others, Joe struggle with his personal demons. He will remain eternally grateful to all of those who helped him throughout the years. He maintained a large group of good friends who were always there for him.
Sadness visited Joe in 2017 when his girlfriend, Sue Gavlak, died tragically. Her loss weighed heavy on his heart, and he has missed her dearly every day since.
Joe is survived by his parents; Jack and Pauline Riggio, and his sister; Joann D’Ura (Glenn), all of Wayne.
