Joseph was hard working with a penchant for mechanics. I believe he was very close to his degree when other priorities were forced upon him.
His heart guided him most of all. Joseph's acumen to engineer made him financially successful in life .
He always welcomed me to his home when I needed sanctuary.
I am sorry to learn of his passing and remember the strength of his character most of all.
His mind learned by doing and his heart learned by trying.

Cousin Joe
I have lots of great memories of Joe when I think back to the good ole days. All the cousins always loved to play Cowboys and Indians running through the yard with our holsters on. We were always dressed the part. Nowadays nobody can even buy a gun for a kid or they get frowned upon. Also, we played lots of croquet, tag, hide & seek and my favorite was shooting pool in the basement. Our birthdays always brought lots of presents, good food, bad singing and homemade icing on the cakes. We drank lots of Pepsi but only on Sunday and holidays. I can never forget those holiday meals. There were so many courses that we had to take breaks in between. We would go for walks to digest and then just kept on eating. Nobody cared about the calories back then.

Summer vacation we were off to the beach; it was always Manasquan and Seaside for the boardwalk. There were also many trips to the mountains in north Jersey. I remember cold showers and no hot water. The rustic cabin on the lake did not even have a ceiling but no one cared. We were out to just have fun. Remember stopping at Carl

Goodbye Joe

It was a pleasure to have known Joe in Linwood, NBHS and Seton Hall. I still remember how he helped me with my car at Seton Hall. It's sad that he didn't have the life which he deserved.
