Born in Brooklyn, New York, he was the son of the late Annibale and Sophie (Caputo) Ferraro.
A proud veteran, Joseph served in the United States Air Force. Subsequently, he worked as a mechanical engineer for the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority until his retirement.
Joseph was a devout Roman Catholic, who actively practiced his faith. He served many roles at the former St. Ann's Church in Tobyhanna, including being a Eucharistic minister, altar server, and all-around steward of the church. For years, Joseph and Patricia applied the teachings of the church by supporting under- privileged children in Central America.
In addition to his passion for the church, Joseph was a family man and a true friend. Loving, quiet, patient and industrious are just a few of his traits. He is survived by his daughters: Catherine Ferraro and her husband, Felix Moletteri; Susan Ferraro and her husband, Peter Lio; and Linda Ferraro; son: Gerard Ferraro and his wife, Joan; sisters: Edith Giovanniello and Francis Barrera; and beloved grandchildren: Christina, Nicholas, Alexander, Celena, Joseph and Sarah. In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by his sisters: Dolores Clinchot, Sue Alfiero and Grace Bonadonna.
