Colonel Joseph P. Pepe Obituary
Joseph was a graduate of West Point, class of 1946. He honorably served his country in World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam. His specialty was Field Artillery and Air Defense. Notable late career assignments included stints at NORAD, Stewart Air Force Base, Newburgh, NY and White Sands Missile Range, NM. He retired from the Army in 1975 and continued his career with Raytheon and Northrop Grumman Company until his retirement in 1989.
Joseph was an accomplished bridge player and earned a Silver Master ranking in the ACBL. He also loved a competitive round of spades with his family. Crossword puzzles were another favorite pastime. There wasn't a puzzle that he couldn't solve.
Joseph was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Ruth, his great grandson Crockett Mahan and his grandson Matthew Pepe. He is survived by his son Joseph Jr. and his wife Julie, son Michael and his wife Christi, daughter Theresa and her husband Gary Callaghan, sister Antoinette Borrelli, his grandchildren John Pepe, Rachel Pepe Mahan, Shannon Pepe Montoya, Joseph Lynn Pepe, Nick Pepe, Mike Pepe, and 11 great grandchildren.
