It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Joe on Sunday, April 26, 2026, in his 86th year. He was the cherished husband of 54 years to Barbara Munisteri (nee Brown). Beloved son of Antonia and Calogero Munisteri (pre-deceased) and son-in-law of Carrie Morreale Brown (pre-deceased). He was a loving brother to the late Leo and Vincenza Munisteri, Angela and late Joe Alfano, and Connie and David Morganti, and a dear brother-in-law to the late Brenda and Louis Richard, the late Sam Brown, and Jennifer Murphy. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Joe always kept himself busy. He loved working in his garden from spring to fall. His other passion was the Chedoke Bocce Club, of which he was the president for 10 years. If he wasn’t in his garden or at the Bocce Club, he was out helping a family member or a friend. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

Visitation on Thursday, April 30th, from 2 - 4 pm and 6 -9 pm at Bay Gardens Funeral Home, 947 Rymal Road East, Hamilton. Funeral Mass on Friday, May 1st, 10 am at Regina Mundi Parish, 631 Mohawk Road West, Hamilton. Entombment to follow at Our Lady of the Angels Cemetery, Stoney Creek.

Rest in peace! You are forever in our hearts.
