Joseph "Joe" Caruso

The Caruso family is sad to announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, on July 8, 2022. Joe was born to Sam and Sara Caruso on January 20, 1937, in Detroit, Michigan. He married the love of his life Patricia Ann (DeMicco) on September 26, 1959 and shortly thereafter he was drafted into the United States Army. Upon his honorable discharge he began working at Ford Motor Company until his retirement in 1985. The following year they set their sight on a move to Tucson. Although retired he continued to work part-time for many years and enjoyed meeting with his buddies for coffee.
