Joseph F. DiPietro, 81, of Redding, CT, passed away on Monday, March 23, 2026, at Regional Hospice of Danbury with his children by his side.

Joe was born in Norwalk on February 17, 1945, to the late Andrew DiPietro and Chiara (Benincasa) DiPietro. He graduated from J.M. Wright Technical High School in Stamford in 1963 and married Janice Perrotta in 1966. He built them a house in Redding in 1978, where they lived together until Janice's passing November 8, 2024.

A union electrician for over 40 years, Joe founded Redding Electric in 1988, which he ran until his retirement. He coached many Little League Baseball teams through the Redding Boys & Girls Club and was a past president. Later in life, he became an auxiliary police officer for the Town of Redding—a big point of pride.

Joe is survived by his children, Marcie Rouman (Chris) of Seattle and Joseph A. DiPietro (Xochitl) of Redding, his granddaughters Joanna and Carina DiPietro, his sister Gloria DiPietro of Norwalk, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, his wife Janice, his brother Andy DiPietro of Portsmouth, NH, and his sister Mary-Ann Cardillo of Redding.

A graveside service will be held Friday, March 27, 2026, at 11am at Umpawaug Cemetery, 149 Umpawaug Road, Redding. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
