Joseph “Joe” Scelzo passed away on September 19, peacefully in his sleep.

Joe was a caring, loving and generous father and husband.

He was a brilliant scientist with incredible financial acumen, but anyone who knew him remembers his great sense of humor and laugh.

Born in NJ and living in NJ, NYC, PA and the DC area, he moved to Ponte Vedra Beach and later Jacksonville.

Joe loved international travel, but his favorite place was Switzerland where he spent his honeymoon and returned every year.

A gourmet chef and wine enthusiast Joe enjoyed entertaining his friends at home.  “The host with the most”.

The family thanks the loving care given by the staff at The Windsor and Community Hospice for bringing comfort to him.

Surviving are his son, David and wife, Midge.
