Joseph was a wonderful husband to Karen, whom he married on August 13, 1966, celebrating 53 years together, a great father and grandfather and one of the kindest gentlemen you ever wanted to meet. He enjoyed water sports, especially boating and jet skiing, he was a member of the Antique Boat Society and he liked Classic Cars. He and Karen would spend their winters in Venus, Florida. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands now rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes THE BEST. In our hearts forever, until we meet again, someday.
