Carmel Grade School and also Bishop Neumann High School. Joseph is a United States Airforce Veteran and was a retiree of the Department of Defense and the Philadelphia Naval Ship Yard and worked in the HVAC department and later became the supervisor of the maintenance department and taught the skills of his job to many. He will be remembered as a family man, handyman- jack of all trades who had an incredible sense of humor, that will live on in all that knew him. Buck enjoyed biking whether it was to King of Prussia, the Manayunk Wall or in cancer bikeathons to the shore to help raise money for a cure. But most of all he loved the time he spent with his wife and children spending summers down the shore, taking trips to the Mountains and drives to Buffalo, New York to simply visit his wifes family. Lastly, he enjoyed New Years Day and all the festivities as a child when he marched alongside his Dad with the Jokers NYA. His love for the parade continued throughout his life.
