Joseph DeVoy

1922-2015 Joseph (Joe) DeVoy, 92, a long time resident of Glenolden, passed peacefully in the early morning of February 22 at St. Francis Country House. Joe spent much of his childhood on a farm in Pennsgrove, NJ. He and his loving wife Stella moved to Glenolden 40 years ago. Joe retired from RCA and he subsequently went to work for several more years at Boeing. Until a few years ago, Joe was an avid golfer but his real love was baseball and during his youth he played amateur baseball in New York. He was particularly proud to be the nephew of the late Whitey Witt, a professional baseball player who played outfield for New York Yankees during the Babe Ruth era. Joe enjoyed vacationing in Florida and Wildwood, NJ with his wife Stella along with his in-laws the late Antoinette and Tony Sulpizio and other family members. Joe will always be remembered for his ever present smile and positive outlook. Joe is survived by Stella, his loving and caring wife of 40 years. Joe was step father to the late Richard Piroli, the late Carol Piroli and the late Ronald Piroli. Joe is also survived by his grandchildren Gina Krick, Richard Piroli, Audra Gavaghan, Nicole Piroli and Ronald Piroli, Jr and 13 great grandchildren.
