He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Roula; his daughter, Farah and her husband Chandler Hazelton; his son, Shukri; and his brothers, Imad and Basil Qubain.
Joseph earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from North Carolina State University and worked more than 25 years with the Department of Transportation in Raleigh.
