Joseph L. Dabulis, age 83, of Wayne, passed peacefully at home on Monday, March 30, 2020.

Joe was born in Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania to Joseph and Genevieve Dabulis.  At the age of five he moved from Mount Carmel, PA to 58 Fort Green Place in Brooklyn.  A few years later he moved to 315 Adelphi Street also in Brooklyn, where he spent most of his youth.  He did move again to 57 Grove Street in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, before moving to Queens, where he joined and spent six years in the National Guards.  Joe went to Brooklyn Tech High School and later to St. Peter’s College in Jersey City for two years.  Joe became a resident of Wayne in 1967 where he spent the last 53 years of his life.

Joe started his career as a machinist before becoming a Margin Clerk and then a Broker on Wall Street.  He most recently worked for Charles Schwab in Paramus before retiring in 2002.  

Joe will be remembered as a quiet person who loved music.  He found great comfort and peace in music and was proficient in several instruments including the fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and guitar.  His love of the arts was not limited to music as he also enjoyed the challenge of wood carving.  As a matter of fact, he carved an entire hockey team out of wood.  Each player stood about one-inch-tall and Joe’s attention to detail on each figure was incredible.  He was an avid Rangers fan and spent many hours as an adult playing hockey at Wollman Rink in NYC where he was goaltender.  But, most of all, Joe found love and pride in the accomplishments of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Whether it was birthday parties, holiday celebrations, or a sporting or school event, he always found great joy in spending time with his family and seeing their accomplishments.

Joe was the loving father of Susan Conklin and her husband Philip of West Milford, Dr. Katherine Taylor and her husband Halston of Arlington, MA, and Thomas Dabulis and his wife Nimfa of Towaco; he was the cherished grandfather of Justin Conklin and his wife Kristina, Brett Conklin and his wife Ashley, Todd Conklin, and Kalyn and her husband Patrick Cedrowski, Spencer and Lexie Taylor, Nicholas and Samantha Dabulis and dearly loved great-grandfather of Jacob Conklin, Peyton Conklin, Lucas Conklin and Emilia Cedrowski; much loved brother of Robert Dabulis of Brooklyn, NY, the late Michael Dabulis, and Barbara Hofmann of Eastchester, NY.
