Joseph “Joe” C. Sinicropi
Amsterdam - Joseph “Joe” Carmen Sinicropi, 81, of Amsterdam, passed away
peacefully on June 5, 2024 at Mountain Valley Hospice, Gloversville, NY
surrounded by his loving family.
Joe was born on February 11, 1943, in Amsterdam, NY to the late Carmelo
Sinicropi and Catherine (Filanova) Sinicropi Galluccio.
Joe was a graduate of Wilbur H. Lynch Senior High School and went on to
work as a machinist for General Electric Company in the Large Steam Turbine
Division from where he retired in 1998. Joe married his high school
sweetheart, Patricia Brown, on October 5, 1962. He spent many summers
with his wife, children and extended family and friends at the Great
Sacandaga Lake, where he later built a home. Many wonderful memories
were made there.
Joe started playing pool very early in his life and could be found practicing his
skill throughout his teen years up until recently. He won the (APA) New
England States Region 8-Ball Classic in 1999 where he went on to compete in
the Camel-8 Ball Classic Singles Championship in Las Vegas, NV. He was a
member of The Johnstown Moose Lodge #1185 where he enjoyed playing
pool in a league with teammates who became great friends over the years.
Besides playing pool, he was also an avid bowler who won the King of the Hill
Tournament in 1969 and brought home his family’s first color TV set as his
prize. Joe loved going to the casino, Saratoga Racetrack, golfing and playing
poker. He also enjoyed weekly card games at the Sacandaga Lake with his
son and close friends, as well as many family card games throughout the
years. Always willing to lend a hand at the drop of a hat, Joe was considered
“a really good man” by so many and has left behind beautiful memories and
teaching moments. He had a great sense of humor and some would say he
was even a little mischievous. He lived by the motto “I’ll do it my way”. Above
all, Joe loved and protected his family first and foremost each and every day.
He will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Joe is survived by his wife of 61 years, Patricia (Brown) Sinicropi; his children,
Catherine “Cathy” Skowronek (Tim), Linda Palmieri (Mike) and Joseph “Joe”
Sinicropi (Terry); his grandchildren, Daniel Palmieri, Alyssa Nencini
(Francesco), Alecia Palmieri, Karlee Singh (Denny) and Kellee Kenney
(Devin) and seven great-grandchildren. Joe is also survived by his brothers,
Vincent Sinicropi (Lorraine) and Carmen Sinicropi (Rosalind); sisters, Mary
Jobin, Frances Phillips and Elizabeth Sinicropi (Pat Bruno). Many nieces and
nephews also survive.
Relatives and friends are invited to visit with Joe’s family Tuesday, June 11,
2024 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Riley Mortuary, Inc., 110 Division St.,
