Joseph was a talented architect. He enjoyed traveling with his Wife Kathleen and their friends, a few of their favorite trips were to Key West, Maui, and on board the Queen Elizabeth 2. He spent his time playing and watching sports such as football, softball, baseball and golf. He loved his cats, Corvette, and spending time by his built in pool with his family and friends. You could always find him by his garden, riding his bike or taking a walk on a sunny day. We will certainly miss his e-mails “just checking in”, his singing Happy Birthday phone calls every year, and his presence at family dinners and holidays. He was greatly loved and will be missed by all.
