Everyone loved Joe and always had the same thing to say; "what a truly good man".   Evey and Joe married on October 21, 1990 and lived in Roselle, NJ, with their many pets. Joe continued to enjoy music throughout his life; playing his piano daily. He was an avid golfer and played often; travelling to Florida many times. He also enjoyed cooking, using the vegetables he grew in his garden and to create meals for his family. Joe had an impact on every person he met with his never ending positive attitude. To know Joe, was to know everything was marvelous. He always said that he was lucky to have his family. But the truth is, his family was more lucky to have him.  Joe is survived by his wife Evey, their pets Lulu and Vanessa and his nieces and nephews that all love him dearly.
