Joe was born on August 27, 1945 in Philadelphia PA. He married the love of his life, Judy, and moved to Florida, eventually settling in Port Charlotte in 1972. They adopted their daughter, Amanda, in 1981 and son, Joseph, in 1983. Joe spent most of his years in Port Charlotte as a United States Postal Worker. On top of work. Joe coached baseball, was in a bowling league and served at multiple churches in Port Charlotte. Joe was a true man of God. He loved his family whole heartedly and loved his church family and friends just as much. He was a very active man. He walked 3-5 miles a day, attended Port Charlotte High sporting events even though his children and grandchildren no longer attended the school and was heavily involved in church until his final days. Joe began fighting his battle with Covid 11 days before it was time for him to leave this earth for his eternal home where he joined his wife, parents, sister and many other family and friends.
He is survived by his daughter Amanda and son-in-law, Joel Rapson, son, Joseph Ferraro; seven grandchildren, Jasmine, Makenzie, Isaac, Noah, Joseph, Nathanael and Judith, his first great grandchild Grey, brother Frank (Beth) Ferraro, brother-in-law James (Denise) DeCaro, and many other nieces, nephews and cousins.

My deep condolences to Joe’s family. I have not seen him in 30 years, but I have never forgotten his kindness and love of the Lord. He taught me to how to understand God and the importance of being one of His shepherds. Joe truly came into my life when I was lost and our conversations at the post office lifted me up to continue my faith and heal. I believe he was an angel to help wayward souls.
May he rest in deep peace and in God’s hands ❤️

Joe, I will remember the good times we had listening to live music at JD’s! Oh, how we loved singing along with the band in the special seats in Corby’s Corner! You were so kind to everyone you met and I loved your sense of humor. You will be missed. Until we meet again....

In this life you are fortunuate if you find one true friend beside JESUS. Joe was that true friend to Janice and myself. Joe would call and say "I'm coming over with Apple Pie, put the coffee up". We would sit and talk about life, it's good points and the bad, but he was always there for us and never judged us. We would always end the night in prayer and caring for one another. I say again, Joe was our best friend and he will missed deeply but happy that he's together with Judy. If you want to see Joe again, accept JESUS as your LORD AND SAVIOR, and we will all be together again. Love you Joe! Joe and Jan Caminiti

Joe, you will be missed. My only regret is that we lived so far apart that our spending time together was limited to mostly phone calls. I wanted to spend more time with you because of your love of our Lord, His wisdom imparted to you and your joy of sharing His word. I wanted to spend more time with you because of your energy, love of life and baseball. One of my favorite memories was the time you stayed with us a few days, and I asked if you would like to go to a Phillies game. Of course, the answer was yes. Went on the internet, got us great seats but clincked the wrong date. It was that night, and it was already 5:55pm with game time at 7:05. Your answer, let's hurry. We did, and we got there in time to see the first pitch thrown. Loved you brother-in-law, and I look forward to spending eternity with you and our Savior.

It is so comforting to know that we are not saying a final good-bye to Joe; as we know someday we'll be together again and then it will be for eternity. Joe loved God with all his heart and his greatest desire was that those around him would know and love God also. He loved his family dearly and was always ready to give to them and others when it was needed. We'll miss his kind and loving example; but know he is where he longed to be.... with His heavenly Father.
