Joseph John D'Urbano Obituary

Joseph John D'Urbano, age 85, of Arlington passed away on Monday, March 18th. Born and raised in Boston's North End, he was the son of the late Silvester and Annunziata "Rita" (Candelora) D'Urbano. Joseph moved to Arlington in the 1960s, and also lived in Somerville and Malden before returning to Arlington, where he spent the remainder of his life.

Joseph was employed in construction and was a proud member of Laborers Local 151 in Cambridge. He also worked for many years in the resturant and nightclub business. Joseph loved to cook, which he did everyday, as well as tend his garden. Most of all, he valued time spent with his family and friends.

Joseph was the devoted father of Joseph S. D'Urbano, and Laurie Ann and Lynda Ann D'Urbano, and was predeceased by their mother, Carole (Turner). He was the longtime companion of Claudia Iandoli, and good friend of her son Jerry. Joseph is also survived by many loving cousins, family and friends.
