Following a long illness, CIBS past president, Joseph (Joey) Palazzolo died on September 3, 2022. The cosmetic industry’s friend and colleague will be sorely missed.
Palazzolo dedicated 40-plus years to the continued success of the Cosmetic Industry Buyers and Suppliers organization, serving in a variety of roles including president in 1989—all in addition to running a successful fragrance business.
He has been a friend, mentor, industry icon and trusted advisor to many board members, directors and past presidents, and served as the official CIBS historian until as recently as 2019.
His passion, dedication, presence and support led to many in the industry referring to him as “Mr. CIBS.”
Thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time.
Visitation will take place Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 7th, and 8th, from 2-4:30 pm and 7-9:30 pm, at the New Hyde Park Funeral Home, 506 Lakeville Road, New Hyde Park, NY.
The funeral mass will take place on Friday at St. Gregory The Great Church in Bellerose, NY, followed by the interment at St. John's Cemetery.
