Joseph Charles Tunno

IN LOVING MEMORY...

Joseph Charles (JC) Tunno passed away Wednesday, Dec. 3, after a remarkable 90 years with his family by his side. Joe was born July 27, 1924 in Kenilworth, UT to Pasquale and Margerite Tunno. Raised by Serafina. Joe worked for 42 years as a signal maintainer for the Rio Grande Railroad, and was retired for a well-deserved 27 years. He was a very honest and hard-working man who always had a way with words. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, baseball, and short trips to Wendover. Joe’s dynamic and persuasive personality was constantly admired. He will always be remembered as the reliable husband, father, grandfather and mentor that anyone would have been lucky to encounter. 

Joe is survived by Ruby, his loving wife of 64 years, daughter Gina, son-in-law Pat, daughter-in-law Rachel, grandchildren Kody, Shyler, Cole, Paul, Tony & Celeste, Ben & Nikole, and great-grandchildren Gage, Joey, Dustin, Josh, Sarai, Samantha. Joe was predeceased by his son Tom.

He will be missed dearly.
