While raising his family, Joseph worked at Bleich Cabinets in Plumsteadville.  In 1974, Joseph decided to share his cabinet making talent part time with students at Upper Bucks Vocational Technical School where he also worked as the school’s custodian, later becoming Head of Buildings and grounds.

Joseph thoroughly enjoyed spending quality time with his family and friends.  He especially enjoyed his time spent with his wife Mary Jane on their bowling league.    Hunting, Gardening, Pinochle and Casino Trips are a few of Joseph’s favorite ways to spend his free time.  Above all, Joseph will always be remembered for his dedication to St. John the Baptist R.C. Church Knights of Columbus Charter 4545 as a 4^th Degree Member.
