The Joe Marfuggi Riverwalk is named in honor of Riverfront Recapture’s long time CEO, Joe Marfuggi. Post-retirement, and until his passing in October of 2018, he remained an involved and dedicated member of the organization as a committee member, volunteer, donor, and ambassador.
With both vision and the ability to bring people of all cultures, interests and ages together at the waters edge, his humility and persistence will be honored and his story is one that needs to be documented. The Joe Marfuggi Riverwalk is to be a celebration of Riverfront Recapture’s successes. While Joe didn’t like the spotlight, his widow Sherry Brown-Marfuggi encouraged this public recognition in a way that Joe will feel tells the story not solely of his efforts, but those of all who’ve connected with the river. Sherry spearheaded fundraising toward these amenities until her recent passing.
