Born in North Jersey, where he attended Dickinson High School and St. Peter’s University.
Joe served his country for 8 years in the reserves. He worked many jobs throughout his life, but mostly UPS, where he made lifelong friends and retired after 25 years.
Besides being a devoted husband for 45 years, he was an amazing father to his two daughters.
He was the best brother, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend. He loved his family and the Lord to no end.
Joe loved to fish and crab. Spending time at the water with his family and friends was a must. He always knew how to make someone feel accepted. He was the character of the party. Smoking Joe, Bah hum Bug, “Grab me a beer.”
If we could guess what he’d say if he could tell us one thing. It would be “I’ll see you on the other side, where we will cheers again.” Love ya.
