Long time Butler resident of Butler, Joseph L. Buccini “Richard”, 83, passed away on Saturday, July 1, 2023, surrounded by family and dear loved ones. Joe was preceded in death by his parents, multiple siblings, and 2 grandchildren. He is survived by his brother Theodore Buccini of southern IL, his daughter Nancy (Scott) Fitzpatrick, his sons Dana (Pam) Buccini and James (Jessica) Buccini, and many grand and great grandchildren. Joe spent his youth in Mooseheart orphanage where he met his former wife and the mother of his three children, Sandra Ross. He came to Butler and started a family and made a large impact over many years in the tire business. He also owned and operated a few restaurants and the pool hall for many years. As the owner of the pool hall on Main Street, Joe loved having a place for people to gather. Sharing his passion for playing pool with anyone that would listen or learn. He was never too busy to help if you asked. He cared more about the people there than anything else.
There will not be a public service. Family and friends are planning a gathering later in the summer to celebrate Joe’s life. Arrangements through SPENCER D. GEIBEL FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, 140 NEW CASTLE RD. BUTLER, PA 16001, WWW.SPENCERDGEIBEL.COM
