In Loving Memory of Joseph Vincent Fraioli
On October 22nd, I will be running the Pampy Ridgefield Half-Marathon in loving memory of my (soon-to-be) brother-in-law, Joseph Vincent Fraioli.
In his memory, we have launched this GoFundMe Campaign to help keep the light alive that Joe so freely shared. Throughout his 25 years of life, Joe was known to many as a friend, teammate, and fraternity brother; but the connection he cherished most, was to his family. Joe's support of his parents, brothers, grandparents and cousins never wavered. Perhaps most admirable was Joe's dedication to his Uncle Joseph Zingaro, who has a dual
diagnosis of autism and behavioral health disorder.
Joe, being named after his uncle, shared a bond with him that extended far beyond their first name. Whether it be taking trips to Walter's Hot Dogs on a summer day, entertaining late-night calls to discuss the day's events, or poking fun at the other Fraioli brothers at family gatherings, Joe always found a way to make his Uncle smile.
Joseph Fraioli passed away unexpectedly on June 12th, 2023, but we know that he would want the love and commitment he gave to his
Uncle, and all people suffering from disabilities and mental illnesses, to live on. Through this fundraiser, we aim to continue his legacy of
love and empathy by directing all proceeds towards the non-profit organization Human Development Services of Westchester (a 501c3
Corp) for its program HOPE (Having Opportunities for People Everyday) House.
Uncle Joe Zingaro visits the HOPE House in Westchester, NY twice a week, every week. The HOPE House supports anyone with behavioral
health conditions to help them find the support and resources they need to pursue their goals and dreams (for more information, visit
hdsw.org/hope-house). Every donation, no matter the size, will help us honor Joe's memory.
Join us in celebrating Joe's life by providing the means for others to lead fulfilling and empowered lives, just as he did for his beloved
Uncle Joe.
