Over the next 40 years they resided in San Bruno, Millbrae, and San Jose. After retirement from a retail career he and Ann Marie relocated to Fremont where they’ve lived since 1993. Joe loved to reminisce about growing up in depression era San Francisco and often shared stories of his mother’s family and their San Francisco heritage. He loved his San Francisco Giants and 49ers, remaining a true fan until the end.
