Joseph John Berlin, born on January 12, 1947, at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan, passed away October 26, 2024 leaving behind a legacy of dedication, hard work, and love for his family. The son of Joseph and Catherine Berlin, Joe grew up in Scarsdale, New York. He attended Roosevelt High School and graduated from Marvel Academy in Rye, New York in 1966.
Joe relocated with his family to Coxsackie, New York, where they owned and operated The Mill Fabric Store.

In 1967, Joe joined the United States Air Force, proudly serving for four years, including two in Okinawa during the Vietnam era.
After his military service, Joe returned to Coxsackie, where he became a prominent business owner. For over 50 years, he owned and operated Mor Powr Speed Shop and later Mor Powr Fuel company, contributing greatly to his community through his expertise and commitment.
Joe was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Catherine, and his brother, Andrew. He is survived by his wife, Marilyn Federico; her daughters, Jamie Murray, and Abby (Nate) Rock; and his four cherished grandchildren: Kaleb, Kadence, Selina, and Skylar. He also leaves behind his brother, Michael, along with his nephew, Michael, and niece, Jill.
Joe will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his hard-working spirit, and his service to both his community and his country. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Joe Thank you for being my friend and business partner. You taught me how to drag race, build an engine and build a race car. Alyssa and I had many great hours with you at the shop. You trusted me to sleep while we drove your race car to York PA . We will be able to swap stories again in the future.

Joe was super friendly when he delivered our oil. He would reach our house last, come inside and sit at the kitchen table while I wrote the check and my husband and he talked. I´m sad to hear he´s gone. I tried unsuccessfully to bring him to the Lord but he definitely softened after he declined. Hoping he´s with the Lord right now!!

Joseph, my brother-in-law, someone who was always there if you needed anything. An early entrepreneur, starting with wiring homes, in his community, for an intruder. A honored Vietnam Air Force Veteran. Businessman. Thanks for letting me run "shotgun" in the tanker truck to Lebanon Valley. The smile and twinkle in your eyes will be with me forever. Thank you for being my " brother". It´s up to you to keep Joe, Kitty and Andrew "in line".
