Joe attended St. Bonaventure University with a degree in English, where he served as President of the Student Senate and met the love of his life, Patricia Amoroso.

He was also a beloved cross country and track coach at Greece Arcadia, where he encouraged and inspired countless young people through his steady example and genuine care.

Joe lived a life defined by kindness, humility, curiosity, and deep devotion to his family and friends. He had a love of running and completed three marathons and many triathlons. He also found joy in exploring nature and exercising his creative side through woodworking. Gentle, kind, and quick to laugh, he was a man with a true thirst for knowledge.
