Joe spent many years working as a lithographer in the printing business.  After retirement, he was a dedicated employee of several local funeral homes, assisting on funerals and helping funeral directors and the families they were serving.

In 2016, Joe was honored by the Borough of Audubon and Camden County for his dedicated service in the Navy during World War II.  In fact, July 20 is now recognized as Joseph F.
