Adolphe Joseph "Joe" Thibault

of Lynn, passed away on Thursday, May 27th, 2021, just one day after his 90th birthday. He was the beloved husband of the late Barbara (Tracy) Thibault.

Born in Boston to the late Stanislaus and Marguerite (Muise) Thibault. Joe was a graduate of Saugus High School. Following graduation, he enlisted in the United States Navy, honorably serving during the Korean War aboard the fleet tug USS Arikara.

In his free time, Joe enjoyed going to the Lido Cafe and Tai Hong and watching the Red Sox games with his companion of many years, Jeanne Gentile. He liked playing Keno, watching NASCAR races, Gunsmoke, and watching his grandsons play football and hockey games. He very much loved to give out Snickers bar ice creams and lollipops to his great grandchildren when their parents backs were turned. His grandchildren have many happy memories of swimming in his pool during the summers with their parents and having some KFC while Grampy Joe enjoyed a snapper or two after work.
