Joseph Barth Obituary

Published by Legacy on Feb. 6, 2025.
In loving memory of Joseph F. Barth, born in Philadelphia, PA on September 29, 1943, and passed on January 29, 2025, in Georgetown, DE. He passed after a great struggle with cancer and kidney failure. Joseph fought the good fight until the end! He was surrounded by loving family members during his last moments on Earth. The knowledge is bittersweet as Joseph is at peace and pain free but will be deeply missed.
Joseph loved being with family and friends, playing golf and consistently enhancing the beautiful home he created for his loving wife and family. A devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Joseph will be dearly missed by all that were lucky enough to have known him.
Joseph is survived by his beloved wife of 45 years Barbara, 7 children, 7 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Rest in peace Pop, we all love you.
