Joseph Paul Corallo, Sr., known affectionately by all as Joe, passed away on February 7, 2024, at his home in Cape May Court House, NJ. Born on August 23, 1942, in Paterson, NJ, Joe's warm smile and friendly demeanor touched the hearts of many throughout his 81 years of a well-lived life.
Joe is survived by his devoted wife, Eileen Corallo; his loving son, Joseph P. Corallo, Jr., MD; his beloved daughter, Theresa Corallo (Kenneth Pappa); his caring brother, N. Ralph Corallo (MaryAnn); and his adored grandchildren, Juliana Corallo, Joshua Corallo, Stone Pappa, and Paxton Pappa. Joe also leaves behind many loving nieces and nephews, who will continue to cherish his memory. He was predeceased by his parents, Ralph and Sylvia (DeStefano) Corallo.
In his professional life, Joe was a respected mechanical engineer at the Picatinny Arsenal and served his country honorably in the NJ Army National Guard. After retiring, he made the scenic move from Pine Brook, NJ to Cape May Court House 18 years ago.
An active member of UNICO National, Joe's spirit of service mirrored his warm personality. His passion for the New York Giants football team was only matched by his love for his family. Joe's legacy will live on through the countless lives he has touched. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Please join the family in honoring his memory on Saturday, February 24th from 11:00am to 12:30pm at Codey & Mackey Funeral Home, 107 Essex Ave, Boonton, NJ. Arrangements were also provided by
