Armando "Joe" Sossio Andreozzi Jr.

May 27, 1940 - January 26, 2021

Exeter - Armando “Joe” Sossio Andreozzi, Jr., 80, passed away peacefully on January 26, 2021. Joe was born in Providence, R.I., son of the late Armando and Antonietta “Etta” (Damiano) Andreozzi. He was raised in Providence and graduated from North Providence High School. He proudly served in the U.S. Army. Joe married Arleen Heran of Johnston, R.I., in 1968. They have lived in Hampton, N.H., for most of their 52 years of marriage. In their retired years, they enjoyed traveling together. Joe worked many years for United Engineers (Raytheon). He had a successful career in consulting, project management, and as a scheduler for nuclear power plants and large office building developments. Big Joe was just that. He was always bigger than life. His ability to tell over-the-top stories and have a room laughing was his greatest gift. His enormous smile and loud laughter were contagious. Joe is survived by his wife, Arleen, of Hampton, N.H.; children Jennifer (Andreozzi) Clark and her husband Andrew, and Christine (Andreozzi) O’Keefe and her husband Patrick; granddaughters, Ella Clark, Shea O’Keefe and Hannah Clark; two brothers, Robert Andreozzi and John “Jack” Andreozzi; and two sisters, Jo-Ann Barrett and Constance Carroll. Extended family includes numerous nieces and nephews. Parting words that seem fitting, as Joe would always say, ‘let’s get this show on the road.’ He is on the road to his eternal show. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the funeral service will be held in private for immediate family only. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Legion by clicking here .
