Joe was born in Haifa, Israel on May 2, 1936. He emigrated to Montreal, Quebec in 1952; moved to Easton, PA in 1970; to Rochester, NY in 1972; and to The Villages, FL in 2009. He worked as an electrical engineer for SI Handling in Easton, PA and retired as an engineering manager for Exxon-Mobil Chemical, in Macedon, NY. He then started his own company, Industrial Automation Consultancy, in Rochester, NY. Joe was an active member of the Temple Sinai Men’s Club and Chavurah while in Rochester and a member of the Villages Woodworking Club when he moved to Florida.

Joe was a devoted husband and father. He was well respected by his colleagues who described him as an innovative leader whose ideas were ahead of their time. Joe’s quick wit and humor will be missed, and he will be remembered by all as intelligent, kind, compassionate, and good-natured.
