OBITUARY
Richard Gravina, 83, peacefully passed away on September 22, 2025, surrounded by his wife and children.
Richard was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His parents, Joseph and Emma Gravina preceded him in death. Richard and JoAnn "Jo-Babe” raised three loving daughters in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn. He and his family moved to Stewart Manor, Long Island in 2004.
Richard is survived by his wife, JoAnn of sixty years; his daughters, Danielle (Matt) Genova, Krisi (Frank) Anderson, and Amanda (Matt) Alfieri, and their six beautiful grandchildren: Jake Genova (26) (Chanelle, 25), Max Genova (23), Ryan Anderson (19), Hailey Anderson (16), Chase Alfieri (9), and Victoria Alfieri (6); as well as his younger sister, Susie DiFalco (John), and his niece, Andrea DiLillo (Stephen), Lukas (10), and Emma (4).
He found happiness in cooking, baking, gardening, collecting antiques, and pulling off a good prank! His love of music filled the home, especially Broadway show tunes that brought him back to treasured memories. His heart was as big as his smile, and even the simplest joys were always “the best”. Above all, he treasured time spent with family and friends, where laughter and warmth were shared by all.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to:
