Joseph Peter Staluppi, age 81 of Wayne, died on Tuesday, June 19, 2012. He has lived in Wayne since 1964.
Joe grew up in Fairview, New Jersey and his father was a musician. Joe’s dad played the French Horn with show orchestras on Broadway and he also played in the Barnum & Bailey Circus band, which caused them to travel a bit. Joe was an excellent student however, and he excelled at mathematics. After graduating from Emerson High School, he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Newark College of Engineering in 1952 and then his Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering in 1961.
Joe began his career with ITT in Clifton where he worked with the team that developed sonar technology for minesweeper ships during the Korean War era. Without a doubt, his work helped save hundreds of lives. He began working with Bendix in 1967 where he was on the team that designed and developed the range rate indicator for the NASA Apollo 11 mission. This instrument gave Neil Armstrong the range and rate of closure as they approached the moon’s surface for man’s first moon landing on July 20, 1969. Joe was involved in many aerospace projects over the years and he helped design many systems used in aircraft today. He retired from Bendix (Allied Signal) in 1992.
Joe met his wife Phyllis (nee Nigro) at a YMCA dance in Jersey City during the late 1940’s. He asked her to dance that night, nearly 65 years ago, and the rest is history, as they say. They were married in 1953 at Sacred Heart RC Church in Jersey City and drove to Miami for their honeymoon, where they stayed at the Empress Hotel in Miami Beach. They have enjoyed a loving and devoted marriage together ever since, always at each other’s side.
They first settled in Fairview before moving to Wayne in 1964. Joe became involved as a baseball coach for the Wayne Little League. He was a great bowler and even played a little golf. Joe was also a Yankees fan and Joe DiMaggio was his favorite Yankee. He and Phyllis always watched the Yankees together on TV.
Joe was a faithful parishioner at Our Lady of Consolation RC Church in Wayne. His Funeral Mass will be celebrated there on Saturday.
Joe is survived by his loving wife of fifty nine years; Phyllis of Wayne, his two sons; Joseph and his wife Virginia of Dobbs Ferry, NY and Peter and his wife Heidi Kantor of Wayne, six grandchildren; Joseph Anthony and Francesco of Dobbs Ferry, and Aaron, Peter, Demi, and Steven of Wayne, one brother; John Staluppi and his wife Frances of Fort Lee, and many nieces and nephews.
