Obituary of Joseph Mastriaco

Joseph Mastriaco was born in the Bronx on August 28, 1962. He grew up in Yonkers and attended Saint Paul the Apostle School and Salesian High School. He graduated from St Francis College in Loretto, Pennsylvania where he majored in History

After a period of working as a limo driver, he owned and ran a daycare center with his wife Rita in Dobbs Ferry for ten years. For the past 10 years he worked as a school bus driver for the town of Ardsley and because of his experience in daycare, he was often assigned to drive handicapped children.

He loved to read, especially books about history and biographies. He enjoyed living near the Hudson River and he and his wife often attended outdoor concerts in Dobbs Ferry during the summer. 

He is survived by his two sisters, Lauretta da Cruz and Lucille Mastriaco and by his very beloved wife Rita Mastriaco. 

Joseph and Rita have invested their lives in the care of young children. In lieu of flowers we ask that you donate to Rita’s place of employment, Days of Wonder Child Care Center Program, 343 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522.
