Born and raised in Philadelphia, Joe graduated from West Catholic High School in 1971 before going on to attend Temple University and Cabrini College. He briefly worked for the Fingerprint Identification Department of the FBI in Washington D.C. before starting his career. Joe spent his career of over 32 years working for United Parcel Service. After his retirement, his dedication to UPS continued as he worked as a Consultant, training drivers for UPS for an additional 10 years. He was funny, his sense of humor would draw you in and his laugh was infectious. He adored spending time with his family, especially at family barbeques and holidays.
