Joseph grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, and remained a devoted Boston Red Sox fan throughout his life. He shared the joy of cheering on his team with his wife, Mildred.
Joseph served in the United States Air Force from January 1956 through August 1981. Following his military career, he continued serving his country as a civilian employee at Tinker Air Force Base for another 20 years.
He married Mildred Fasulo, and together they raised five sons: Joseph, Ken, Pete, Ron, and Gary. Above all, Joseph was a loving father. Family was the most important thing in his life, and his greatest legacy is the love he leaves with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Joseph was preceded in death by his wife, Mildred, in 2019, and his son, Ron. He is survived by his sons Joseph, Ken, Pete, and Gary; his five grandchildren, Christina, Aaron, Anthony, Christopher, and Kaylee; and 18 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at Bill Eisenhour Funeral Home at Sunny Lane Cemetery, 4000 SE 29th Street, Del City, Oklahoma.
Joseph will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his family.
