Joseph G. Di Carlo, 80, of Wayne, died December 5, 2010.
He was born in Montclair, NJ and received his formal education there.
He graduated from Montclair High School, and after high school, he served in the U.S. Army.
After serving his country he attended the Newark College of Engineering and was employed by Marotta Scientific Controls in Montville, as an Engineering Services Manager, for over thirty-five years having retired in 1995.
He met Patricia Padula on a blind date set up by his aunt Helen and Uncle Joe. They went to a drive in movie in Totowa Boro. Before proposing he queried Pat as to what she would say if he asked her to marry him. When she said she would say “yes” he then went to her parents to ask for her hand in marriage. He proposed to Patricia at the front door of her home at 15 Hudson Avenue, Totowa Boro. They married on June 14, 1953 at St. James RC Church, Totowa Boro. They honeymooned in Atlantic City. Being the furthest Pat had ever been from home she was homesick and called home everyday. The newly married couple settled in Totowa Boro just one block from Pat’s parents home.
Dedicated to his Catholic faith, Joseph was the Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus, Chapter 11943, of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary RC Church in Wayne. At the church he was a dedicated parishioner, greeter, member of the choir, served as a board member of the Parish Council, and was a member of the Men’s Council. He was also instrumental in the preparation of the food for the parish picnic for many years.
Joe loved to travel and has been to Italy, France, England, Puerto Rico, Arizona, California and the Netherlands just to name a few. In his younger years he enjoyed bowling and golf. He is best described as a quiet, loving man who loved to dance, and was a “Mr. Fix It” for family, friends, and neighbors. He also had a love of photography, had taken classes to enhance his skills, and enjoyed many years working at Wayne Camera.
He was the beloved husband of fifty-seven years to Patricia (Padula) Di Carlo; devoted father of Steven Di Carlo, Richard Di Carlo and the late Joseph Di Carlo(1987); cherished grandfather of Joseph, Dominic, and Isabella Rose; much loved brother-in-law of Jerry and Barbara Speziale, and Tony and Coleen Padula, loving uncle to many nieces and nephews.
