Joseph GALELLA Obituary
He was married to the love of his life, Mary Ann (Kern) of Olney, IL, on November 29, 1958.
Joe had a career as a mechanical engineer for 30 years at Lakehurst Naval Air Station. After retiring, he continued to work as a consultant at Sanders and Thomas Engineering. Realizing his lifelong dream job, Joe worked at the Lakewood Country Club pro shop in return for free golf until 2017.
He enjoyed golf, the beach, traveling, the Yankees, and he was known for his vegetable garden. However, spending time with his family was his greatest joy. He was a devoted husband, and a loving father and grandfather.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mary Ann and four daughters Elizabeth Galella and son-in-law William Honnen of Middletown, Faith Brosch, MD and son-in-law Russell Brosch of Hockessin, DE, Margaret Galella and son-in-law Vaughan Scully of Brooklyn, NY, Amy Czenis and son-in-law Ken Czenis of Toms River. He is survived by 9 grandchildren, Gregory Honnen, Liam Honnen, Kate Honnen, Joseph Brosch, Michael Brosch, Samuel Scully, Hugo Scully, Sarah Czenis, and Evan Czenis; a brother John Galella and his wife Phyllis, and predeceased by sister Marie Langner, and brothers Sebastian Galella and Frank Galella, Jr.
