Joseph L. Todeschi

Joseph L. Todeschi passed away on November 1, 2026, following a brief illness.

Joe was predeceased by his beloved wife, Carol. He is survived by his children and their spouses: Kevin (Mary), Kurt, Heidi (Rob), and Kellie (Gary); six grandchildren, Jeffrey, Juliana, Heather, Jarod, Stephanie, and Tyler; two great-grandchildren, Elden and Torin. His family was an important part of his life, and his memory will live on through the generations who loved him.

Joe was born on June 17, 1935, in Murray, Utah, to Andrew and Ottilia Todeschi. Following high school, he served in Japan during the Korean War. Upon returning to the United States, he attended the University of Utah, where he continued his education and prepared for a long career in the pharmaceutical industry.

Joe met Carol in a local drugstore where she worked as a soda jerk. Their meeting blossomed into a lifelong partnership, and they married in 1957, beginning a marriage that spanned 66 years.

Joe spent nearly 40 years in the pharmaceutical industry, building a successful career that culminated in his retirement in 1998 as Regional Director for Boehringer Ingelheim. His career took him and his family to Colorado, Connecticut, and California. Following his retirement, Joe returned to Colorado, where he enjoyed the next chapter of his life.

Outside of work, Joe enjoyed playing golf, fishing, playing cards, Scrabble and, most of all, spending time with friends and family. He cherished the simple pleasures of life and the connections he made along the way. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
