He was a member of Our Lady of Belen Catholic Church. Joseph was a kind, loving person, who was always willing and ready to lend a helping hand. He always had a smile on his face, laughing and joking around.

Joseph gave himself many nicknames, like “Casino Joe” and “Joedaddy,” but the one he was most known for was “Mechanic Joe.” He lived life to the fullest and had many friends. Joseph will be greatly missed.
