He was subsequently discharged with honors following the war. He married Eleanor Fratrick (in 1959), and was happily married for 57 years prior to her passing. Joseph worked for Del Monte Corporation for over 30 years as a successful sales manager, acquiring numerous awards and distinctions. He was an avid golfer who loved both the sport and the camaraderie of golfing partners and organizations.
