Hornell, New York<\/p>\nHornell, New York<\/p>\n
Joseph Ryan \u201cJoe\u201d Pollizi \u2013 39 \u2013 of 43 Ravine St., Hornell, died unexpectedly Friday morning (June 21, 2024) at his home.<\/p>\n
A native & life resident of Hornell, he was born March 29, 1985 and was the son of Mike & Kelley (Congdon) Pollizi.<\/p>\n
Joe was a graduate of Hornell High School (class of 2003) and later attended Utica College and Alfred State College (SUNY Alfred).<\/p>\n
For several years, Joe was employed as a meat cutter at P&C Grocery and later Save-A-Lot Grocery in Hornell. Throughout the years he also served as a carpenter\/general contractor, working in Hornell and the surrounding area. He had been employed at R&R Docks of Avoca, building and installing docks on Keuka Lake. For the past 2 \u00bd years, Joe served as a machine operator at Stern & Stern Industries in Hornell.<\/p>\n
He was a member of Our Lady of the Valley Parish and a communicant of St. Ann\u2019s Church. Joe was an avid Buffalo Bills fan and throughout the years attended countless games — especially during the Super Bowl years. He had a passion for cars and loved working on his 1991 Mustang which was his \u201cPride & Joy.\u201d<\/p>\n
A true outdoorsman, Joe loved camping and also shooting guns (primarily target shooting) with his son, Carson, who he loved & adored.<\/p>\n
In recent years, Joe, like so many others, struggled with addiction. But through it all, he never lost his zest for life and always maintained his sense of humor. Joe truly wished to succeed in overcoming his addiction problems, not only for himself, but for his family. If anyone needed help, he would be the first to \u201cstep-up\u201d with tools in hand & a smile on his face to help out. He will be sadly missed by all those who were fortunate enough to have known him.<\/p>\n
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Francis Pollizi; his maternal grandparents, James & Jacquelane Congdon; his aunt, Mary Pollizi; along with his canine companion, Aries.<\/p>\n

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday at 10:00 AM at St. Ann\u2019s Church with burial in St. Mary\u2019s Cemetery.<\/p>\n
