Joe was a long-time, deeply valued affiliate of the Perch Point Conservation Club. His commitment to preserving local wildlife and natural habitats left a lasting impact on the land and the community he held so dearly.
When he wasn’t focusing on conservation, he spent countless hours volunteering at major automotive grand prix events across the country. From the sun-drenched streets of the St. Petersburg Grand Prix to Miami, to the roaring tracks of his beloved Detroit Grand Prix, Joe was always right in the middle of the action.
Beloved husband of the late Marie. Dearest stepfather of the late Sebastian M. D’Aquila, the late Patricia L. (Neil) Loney, Anthony (Linda) D’Aquila and John D’Aquila. Proud grandfather of Elizabeth (David) Ostriovitz, Alex (Emily) Loney and Amanda (Andrew) Whiting and great-grandfather of many. Dearest uncle of Lori (Jerry) Stanley.
In state Tuesday, October 27, 2026, from 10AM until time of Funeral Mass at 10:30AM at St. Isaac Jogues Catholic Church, 21100 Madison St, St Clair Shores, MI 48081. Please share a memory with the family on Joseph’s online guestbook.
