     WHEREAS, It is with deep sadness that this Senate has learned of the passing of the

Mr. Falvo was born in the City of Providence, the son of the late Vincenzo and Ernestina Falvo;

and

     WHEREAS, Mr. Falvo was a hard-working man who strove tirelessly to provide for his

family and loved ones. Mr. Falvo worked for United Wire & Supply for 31 years, and later for

distinction as a member of the United States Army; and

Council for 26 years, where he served his constituents with abiding integrity and tireless

devotion. Mr. Falvo also served as a longtime member and Chairman of the Board of Canvassers;

and

     WHEREAS, Mr. Falvo was a man of deep faith and was a communicant and lector at

Holy Cross Church in Providence. His true passion in life, in addition to his family, professional

career and public service, was his garden which he maintained meticulously. He was a passionate

golfer and handball player, and he treasured his annual visits to Niagara Falls to visit his cousins,

Dominic and Vince, who were as close as brothers to him; and

     WHEREAS, Joseph Falvo leaves behind his children, Steven T. Falvo, and his wife,

Elizabeth, and Joseph S. Falvo, and his late wife, Barbara. Joseph Falvo also leaves behind his

grandchildren, Barbi-Jo Falvo, Joseph J. Falvo, Tanya Boyer and her husband, Brett, Steven R.

Falvo and Meaghan E. Lombardo, and her husband, Joseph, and his great-granddaughters, Siena

and Savannah Lombardo. Mr. Falvo was the brother of Vincent Falvo, and his wife, Jean, and the

late Peter Falvo, Anthony Falvo, and Santina Adamo; now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island hereby expresses its deepest

condolences on the passing of the Honorable Joseph Falvo; and be it further

     RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to

transmit duly certified copies of this resolution to Steven T. Falvo and Joseph S. Falvo.
