Joseph was born and raised in Worcester and lived there until moving to Holden seven years ago. He was a 1981 graduate of St. Peter Marian High School, and worked as a Carpenter for Griffin Interiors in Wilmington. He was a member of the local Carpenter's Union 107 in Worcester and St. George's Church. He enjoyed the art of his craft and produced many exquisite pieces both at work and for family and friends.
