Joseph was the devoted husband of the late Rosemarie Macejko, whom he was married to for 48 years. Together, they raised a family full of love and pride. Joseph leaves behind his two sons, Joseph Macejko Jr. and Andrew Macejko, who will always cherish the lessons and memories their father imparted.

Joseph was also a proud grandfather to Rosie De Gaetano, Julie Cook, Samantha Macejko, Dylan Macejko and great-grandfather to Matthew Tirado, Zac Cook, Ryan Cook, Anthony De Gaetano, and Nico De Gaetano.
