Joseph "Joe" Bedolla
1935-2012

Joseph "Joe" Bedolla, born Jan. 9, 1935, passed Sunday, June 3, 2012, peacefully and surrounded by family due to intestinal gastric cancer. He was a life long hard worker who harvested grapes, loved listening to oldies and enjoyed playing the lotto. He was well known, loved by many and was always making new friends.

He is survived by his wife Rafaela Bedolla; children Joe, Peter, Carol and Phillip Bedolla, Belinda Garcia and Brenda Helming; as well as many grandchildren. He will forever be in our hearts.

Please feel welcome to join our family and friends at his memorial service to be held at Claffey and Rota Funeral Home (1975 Main St., Napa) on Wednesday, June 20, at 6:30 p.m. The actual funeral will take place on Friday, June 22, at 2 p.m., at the St. Helena Cemetery. A reception will follow at an undetermined location.
