Joseph was an Army veteran who proudly served during the Vietnam War. He was married to the love of his life, Karen, on August 19, 1972, and built a loving family together with a lifetime of fond memories.
Joseph dedicated most of his professional career to telecommunications. He had a passion for family, movies, photography, technology, laughter, and a unique fascination with gorillas.
Joseph is survived by his wife, Karen; children Nicholas (Shandra), Sara (Jesse), and William; grandchildren Jacob, Caleb, Katie, and Lucas; and countless friends and family who loved and cherished him – many of whom affectionately refer to him as “Papa Joe”.
