Beloved father and grandfather passed away on Wednesday January 13, 2021 at Covenant Healthcare surrounded by his family. Age 85 years. The son of the late Samuel Licavoli and Lena (Prezzato) Licavoli. Joe was born July 21, 1935 in Saginaw, Michigan. Surviving are two children, Mary Jo Polzin (Robert) and Joseph (Jenifer) Licavoli.

Joe worked for the city of Saginaw for over 30 years. He served in the army where he was fortunate to play his love of baseball overseas in Germany. Joe loved fishing, going to casinos, taking car rides to northern Michigan, and giving excessive amounts of treats to his grand pups. He was a devoted Catholic. He will be remembered most by his sense of humor and his stories. He loved every minute spending time with his family. They meant everything to him.
