Joseph Flatley Obituary
Atlantic Highlands - Joseph G. Flatley, 60, of Atlantic Highlands, passed away at home on May 7, 2020. Joe grew up in Belford and lived in Atlantic Highlands the last fifteen years. He worked over 30 years at Newark Airport for Northwest and Delta Airlines. The last two and a half years Joe was a car salesman at George Wall Ford Lincoln in Red Bank. Joe was a good man, friend, brother, and uncle. He always had a quick joke and had a hearty laugh. He got along with everyone and was a true peacemaker. He was an agonized New York Mets fan and a loyal Dallas Cowboy fan. Most of all he was a true friend you could always rely on. Now he is gone and he will be greatly missed.
He is predeceased by his parents, Thomas and Christina Flatley. He is survived by his brother Tom Flatley, his wife Joyce, and their children George and Arthur; his sister Christina Flatley and her son Jan; his twin brother, John Flatley, his wife Barbara and their children Samantha and Conor; and by his extended family and many friends.
Arrangements are in care of John F. Pleger Funeral Home, 115 Tindall Road, Middletown, NJ.732-671-1326. Due to the COVID-19 virus, a small private funeral is planned. A memorial mass service and a celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

Seems like I saw Joe as much after I left Northwest as I did when I worked there. He would somehow always flag me down in Atlantic Highlands when I was over there. Always asked about my daughter and how my mom was doing. Thanks, Joe. Rest in peace.

I worked with Joe for many years at Northwest. I still remember when 3 new ESE started the same day and came into my office. Joe was a kind, warm hearted man who I will never forget. My prayers are with his family and I know Joe is at peace now.

I started working with Joe the same day at Northwest as his dad was the manager at American airlines and my dad was a manager at Delta ..... We have been through a lot of ups and downs over the years but much more ups. Last time I saw him he came to my moms funeral Dec. 2018 and we were very appreciative . I am just stunned by it as I called him for his 60th birthday.....
My heart goes out to all his family and I know a lot of us at Delta are feeling the same way.
Sorry again for your loss....

I'm so sorry to hear this. Joe was a great guy. I'd come into the dealership every morning and he was always there with a smile. I'm actually shocked by this news. We got along so well because we are the same age and lived through all the same things and had plenty to talk about. He would often pop into my office for a chat. He was always there to lend a hand to anyone who needed it. He will be missed by all of us at the dealership. My condolences to his entire family.

I have so many memories of cheering for Joe when he wrestled in 9th grade at Bayshore. He always had a smile for everyone he knew (and for those he hadn't met yet). I'm so saddened by his passing.
