Joseph John D’Antoni, Jr passed away on Saturday, August 15, surrounded by his 
family. 
He was born February 14, 1933 in Arabi, LA to Joseph Sr. and Jeanne D’Antoni. 

A Korean War Veteran, he proudly served in the U. S. Marines. 
Joseph was a natural conversationalist, and had a knack for storytelling. His 
personality led him to work in the customer service industry most of his life. 
His passion was vegetable gardening, but his family was his pride and joy. 

It is said that all that matters on your tombstone is the dash between your 
birth and death; Joseph’s dash was filled with faith, family, and service to 
his country. 
He and Lucy moved to Pearl River after Hurricane Katrina and immediately felt 
at home, especially at Saints Peter and Paul Church. 

Joseph was preceded in death by his parents, and sisters Catherine Thibodeaux, 
Jane Denley and Violet Oracz. 

Joseph is survived by his wife, Lucy Poche, children, Joseph ‘Scooter’ (Susan), 
Gary, Larry (Darleen), and Michael (Amy), sisters Antoinette Poitevent and 
Lelia Norris, grandchildren Lisa (Matt), Randy (Jordan), Josh, Eric, Gabrielle, 
and Madison, and great-grandchildren Jacob and Andrew and a much loved host of 
nieces and nephews. 

Family and friends are invited to attend the services at Sts. Peter and Paul 
Catholic Church in Pearl River, Louisiana on Wednesday, August 19, 2015, 
visitation from 9:30AM until service time at 11:00AM 

followed by a ceremony at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery in Slidell, 
Louisiana. 

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Wounded Warrior 
Project.
