He was predeceased by his father Joseph J. Lalla Sr. and his sister Joanne Jones.
Joseph is survived by his beloved mother Joanna Lalla, his loving sisters; Janae Geonetti and Jacqueline Gorman (Randy) and his cherished nieces and nephews; Vincent, Gina, Janae, Julia and Ethan. His best buddy and constant companion, Cuddles, his cat, also survive him.
Joseph enjoyed fishing, playing the keyboard and putting models together. He always thought fondly of his nieces and nephews. He will be missed.
Joe’s battle with Mental Illness prevented him from accomplishing many of his dreams; he disliked the stigma that came along with it. However, he still had hope and looked forward to the day when all these things will be done away with. Rev. 21:3-4
The Thos L. Shinn Funeral Home, 10 Hilliard Dr., Manahawkin, NJ was entrusted with the arrangements.
