He is survived by brothers Edward (Yvonne, Pam and Ervin) and Mark (Keith). Joe graduated Horace Mann High School and Columbia University. After many years running his family businesses in the hotel and insurance industries, Josef found his true calling in the non-profit world as Executive Director of two Synagogues: Westchester Jewish Center in Mamaroneck, NY and Temple Israel Center in White Plains, NY.

Josef is survived by his loving wife Paula, and his loving children Sharon (Bob) Smith, Alan (Laurie) as well as his former son in law Stephen Leistinger. He is the cherished grandfather of Kim (John), Nicole, Lindsey, Griffin, Michael, Matthew, Katie, Julia, Jonah, and Jesse, and the proud great-grandfather of Jack and Brody.
