Joseph was a lifelong resident of the Kensington section of Philadelphia. He loved his neighborhood and was often spotted riding his scooter throughout the streets, talking and joking with those he met along the way.  A simple guy at heart, Joe spent his time fishing or visiting Wildwood, his happy place.

Joe will always be remembered as one of the good guys who never had a bad word to say about anyone. He will be greatly missed but his family takes comfort that he will be reunited in heaven with his loved ones who have gone before him.
