Joseph Hasazi Joseph Edward Hasazi, 76, of South Burlington passed away on December 8, 2020, after a yearlong battle with cancer. Even as the disease and treatment wreaked their havoc and the pandemic required Joe to quarantine, he remained positive and was a source of joy and connection for his family and many friends. This was consistent with who Joe was throughout his life: a beloved father, husband, brother, cousin, uncle, mentor, colleague and friend who invested in relationships the way others do in stocks or gold. Friends and family were the most valued currency in his life, and those of us who were beneficiaries of his love and support are devastated by his death.
