Joseph A. Panetta
May the stories and laughter the ‘Mayor’ created, continue to inspire and charm all those he loved and all those who loved and admired Joseph unequivocally in return.
To ensure your generosity and support are acknowledged, Joseph’s family has requested that memorial contributions be made through IN MEMORY OF to the following
St. Jude Children’s Hospital
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of its founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
Boys Town
In 1917, a young Irish priest named Father Edward Flanagan grew discouraged in his work with homeless men in Omaha, Nebraska. He shifted his attention and rented a boarding house that became Father Flanagan’s Home for Boys. Flanagan welcomed all boys, regardless of their race or religion and by the spring, 100 boys were living at the Home. Since that time, Boys Town has continued to expand in its dedication to providing compassionate treatment for the behavioral, emotional and physical problems of children and families. Its programs include: The Family Home where children live in homes and are cared for by married couples known as Family-Teachers®; The Boys Town National Research Hospital® is a nationally-recognized treatment center for children with hearing and speech disorders and helps 60,000 deaf and hard-of-hearing students each year; and the National Hotline which has handled more than 8 million calls since its inception. Each year, Boys Town impacts the lives of over two million people and strives to fulfill its mission to help every child and family to thrive, regardless of background and circumstances.
