Joseph A. Falcone, Jr., 95, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away on August 16, 2026, at his residence. Born in Niagara Falls, he was the son of the late Joseph and Elizabeth (Granite) Falcone, and the husband of the late Theresa (Gadacz) Falcone, who predeceased him on May 16, 2016.

Joseph was a graduate of Niagara Falls High School. He served proudly in the United States Air Force during the Korean Conflict from 1951 until his honorable discharge in 1955. Following his service, he earned his Associate’s Degree in Food and Beverage from Erie Community College.

Alongside his wife, Joseph owned and operated Club Joey Bar and Restaurant in Niagara Falls for over 35 years, retiring in 1995. He enjoyed playing bingo with his wife, loved horse racing, and was an avid Buffalo Bills fan. Joseph will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor, his ability to brighten any room, and his natural gift for being the peacemaker. Though a hardworking businessman, his greatest joy came from time spent with his family, especially his grandchildren and great‑grandchildren.

He is survived by his daughters, Anna Marie Wynn, Lisa Falsetti, and Tana Thomas; his beloved grandchildren, Nicole (Ryan) Boland, Joey Wynn, Brittany Falcone, Sarah Falsetti, Ashley (Radomir) Pupovac, and Jimmy Thomas; and his cherished great‑grandchildren, Jayden, Brayden, Matthew Joseph, and Amelia Tana.
