Legacy
Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, Joe met the love of his life, married, and moved to Woodbury in 1979. Joe was a proud Vietnam Veteran serving in the United States Air Force.  Prior to retiring in 2014, Joe was a letter carrier for the US Postal Service since 1981 and was an active member of the NALC Branch 908.

A loving and compassionate man, Joe was devoted to his family.  He was patient with his children and grandchildren and was always there when they needed him.  It didn't matter what the occasion was, Joe put an extraordinary amount of thought into the gifts or events for his loved ones; they were never able to out do him.  Many happy memories were made on trips to Wildwood, especially looking forward to Happy Hour.  Times spent fishing, crabbing and camping will always be remembered.  Sundays were great because Fantasy Football made every game matter.
