The Hog Ring - Trimmer Joseph Millimaci Dies at 84

Trimmer Joseph Millimaci of Erie, Pennsylvania, has died at age 84.

Joseph was born on July 7, 1940 in Erie. After graduating high school, he worked for Auto Seat Cover Company for 20 years before establishing his own business, Millimaci Auto Upholstery. “He was known for being a master upholsterer,” his obituary says.

In his off time, Joseph enjoyed building old street rods, fishing and was an avid Denver Broncos fan. He was beloved for his great sense of humor and often went out of his way to help others.

Sadly, Joseph died on October 22, 2024.

He is survived by his children, Kimberly Millimaci, Daniel Millimaci, Christine Hess, Elena Darden, Ann Spinelli, Ryan Millimaci, Jennifer Millimaci and Sara Millimaci; grandchildren, Krystal, Cassandra, Stephanie, Tyler, Daryn, Craig and Kaden; and his brother, Phillip Millimaci. He is further survived by good friends, Brian Zewe and James “Jazz” Curry and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

May he Rest in Peace.
