Born in Fall River, MA, he was the beloved son of the late Joseph O. Del Toro and the late Anna L. (Arel) Del Toro, and predeceased by his loving sisters Jo-Anne V. Trombley and Gail A. Manchester. To cherish his memory, he leaves behind his siblings Virginia L. Cassiere, Cynthia A. Bussard, Susan J. Payne, Pamela A. Conley and Paul W. Del Toro.
Joseph attended Warren High School and was employed by Fournier Ford, previously known as Barboza Ford, before opening his own Auto Body shop in Swansea, MA. Joseph loved to figure out the inner workings of all things mechanical. He spent his free time taking things apart and putting them back together. He enjoyed repairing clocks and vintage watches, as well as metal detecting. But most of all, he loved caring for his adored cats.
