He met the love of his life, Eileen, shortly after graduation and married her in 1964, they were married for 56 years, before she passed away.

Joe loved to be around his family and tell stories. Over his lifetime he loved to spend time with his entire extended family, by going to the zoo, fishing, picnics, vacationing in Wildwood Crest as well as traveling on cruises with his wife and work friend; but he especially looked forward to family gatherings and going to sisters, brother, and other relatives’ houses. Joe was the life of the party and always kept everyone laughing by telling a funny story or making a funny face when the camera came around to him. He also enjoyed his cigars, bird watching and Philadelphia sports.
