Joseph served his country with honor and pride with the US Navy during WWII. He and his wife, Margaret relocated their family from Stamford to Westport in 1973, where he operated his family business, Bridge Garage, for over 25 years for his many loyal customers. Joseph and his family enjoyed vacationing in Lake Carmel, NY and making memories with his boat, “3B’s”, named after his children. He was a cigar aficionado and savored fine wine. “King Pin” of the family, he was also a very generous man who put others and their wellbeing before his own up until his own passing.
