Joseph Legradi
Joseph John Legradi, 17, of Kalaheo, was born May 27, 1986, at U.S. Naval Hospital, Pozzouli, Naples, Italy.
A senior at Waimea High School, he was a movie and music lover who planned to enlist in the military after graduation. While growing up, he felt fortunate to have lived in Italy, Virginia, Ohio, Japan, California and Hawai‘i, but his best and closest friends were on the West Side of Kaua‘i.
He is survived by his parents, Stephen G. Legradi of Philadelphia, Penn., Cindy and Gerald Balderson of Kalaheo, a brother, Stephen, of Philadelphia, sister Gabrielle, of Redding, Calif.; grandmother Adele Legradi of Toms River, N.J., step-grandfather, Jerry Balderson of Council, Idaho and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
An open memorial service will be at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 23 at Waimea Baptist Church. Afterward, friends may walk to the Waimea Pier for a final farewell.
Joe will be interred in Dresden, Ohio near his grandparents and Uncle John.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to Waimea High School, Project Graduation, P.O. Box 339, Waimea, HI 96796, Attn: Gini Hori, or to the Lions Eye Bank where Joe donated his corneas that others may see.
