Joe worked for many years as a steel pourer at Rode in Woburn. He later worked as a custodian for the City of Woburn DPW and then transitioned to the Woburn School System, where he retired in 199X.

In 1955, Joseph met the love of his life and future wife, Sandra (Sandy), at a YMCA dance. They began dating and were married on March 20, 1956. Joe and Sandy enjoyed dancing, cooking, and taking long rides to visit Sandy’s mother in Northborough, as well as rides around Horn Pond.

Known for his incredible sense of humor, Joe enjoyed telling jokes, playing pranks, and entertaining those around him. He will always be remembered as one of Elvis Presley’s biggest fans.
