Giuseppe Dipietro

DiPietro, Giuseppe “Joe” of Pembroke, formerly a longtime resident of Weymouth, died December 27, 2019. Joe emigrated from Italy to the U.S. when he was 15, initially settling in Dorchester. He and his beloved wife of more than 60 years, Concetta A. (DiMascio) DiPietro, settled in Weymouth, where they raised their family. Joe was the founder and principal of Celco Construction Corporation, which was established in 1957.  As a master of his craft, his talent and perseverance withstood time to allow Celco to successfully thrive to this day. He was a member and former president of Weymouth Rotary and Treasurer of the Utility Contractors of New England (UCANE), where he was awarded Contractor of the Year. A supporter of Weymouth youth sports, especially hockey, Joe often sponsored multiple teams throughout the years. He enjoyed competitive team bowling in many leagues with his friends and family, including the Weymouth Knights of Columbus League.  His passion was his family and his garden.  He continuously nurtured his abundant garden with the same enthusiasm as he did for his beloved wife, children and grandchildren bestowing wisdom and comical “papa-ism’s” that will continue on through his legacy. Papa, as many people referred to him as, will be missed greatly.
