elevated M5jYS Obituary
A beloved husband, friend and life partner to Rosa, a wife of 20+ years and 38 years together. Through the love and passion came 4 kids along their journey together, Alex, Tiffany, Joseph & Amanda. A proud father that did everything and anything he could for his kids no matter the extent. A protective, loving, caring family man. Not only was Joseph a husband and father but he was also an amazing grandfather to Adriano, truly 2 peas in a pod with an unbroken bond and love for one another. Joseph, was also a brother to 7 siblings whom he loved dearly. A proud father-in-law to his children’s life companions and a brother-in-law to those he held close to his heart.
Along his life journey came many friends, nieces and nephews. He was inspirational to many, loved, admired and looked up too. Joseph was a man that was capable of making a whole room cheer up with laughter. He was known to “take the shirt off his back” for anyone that needed it. A man with such force anyone could feel it. He stood for what’s right and always gave a listening ear to anyone that needed it. A man with not many words but when he spoke, it touched you because it would be with passion. He was a story teller that would tell his life in one sitting no matter if he met you a minute ago or not many of which he was proud of. Joe left behind memories that will stay with people forever most of which are stories that included him doing and saying the funniest mind blowing things, some good and some bad. His passion for muscle cars, motorcycles, boxing and building is what he was known for, he had such a creative mind he could turn nothing into something beautiful. His hands were definitely his gift. He was the uncle that many would call the “cool uncle” and jumped started their love and passion for the same things he enjoyed. He shared struggles that many related too and would be the first to share his truth. He inspired us all in some ways, We will miss his presence forever because it was a presence that left its mark. He left an incredible legacy behind that will be spoken of through generations. Although he may not be here in physical form, he has made himself felt spiritually. May he rest in heavenly peace with all the angels telling stories of his crazy, fast life he had here on earth.
