Joseph served in the United States Army from 1951-1953 during the Korean War conflict and was stationed in Japan. He began his career in the silk screen printing industry in 1954 at Buck Printing Company on Ipswich Street in Boston.

He enjoyed reading, golf, sailing, and fishing from his boat in Barnstable Harbor during summer months as well as in Key West and Marathon Key, FL during New England winters. He was a very generous and caring father, grandfather and friend who inspired others with his dedication to his work and family, and through his wonderful sense of humor.
