They say the Lord works in mysterious ways-but every now and then, His plan reveals itself with perfect clarity. God needs a PR expert and now he has Joseph T. Greenwald, Sr., the absolute best when it comes to hard work, advertising, and public relations.
Joseph T. Greenwald, Sr. 84, of Limerick, PA passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025.
Born August 30, 1941, in Kensington, PA, he was the devoted son of the late Thomas and Catherine Greenwald.
Joseph was a 1959 graduate of West Catholic High School where he lettered in soccer. After graduating High School, Joseph worked in the Advertising Department at Food Fair where he met his beautiful bride to be, Barbara (Mitros). They were married in 1963 and together they enjoyed 62 years of matrimony. Joseph also served in the U.S. Army Reserve shortly thereafter for 7 years. It was during these years that his career in advertising and public relations also blossomed. He worked for several firms before starting his own agency in the late 1970's. His firm rose to a top 15 agency in Philadelphia and he enjoyed a long and illustrious career. He was a respected employer, teacher and mentor to many. He was a dedicated professional and loved his work.
Beyond a spectacular career, Joseph was a loving son, husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle to his family. Joseph loved his family and always had a joke or great wisdom ready, and he enjoyed his time on the golf course. He made everyone smile and always made his company feel like they were very important, always leaving a lasting impression.There was nothing Joseph loved more than his beloved wife, Barbara. She was his constant companion and the love of his life. Friends and family gushed that they were the cutest couple they ever encountered.
Joseph is survived by his wife Barbara and their children; Joseph Jr. and his companion Andreia, James and Barbara-Anne and her husband Eric Mansfield. Additionally, there are 6 Grandkids Joseph III (spouse Steph) Ben, Robert (spouse Mattie), Cailey, John and Michael.Joseph was also one of 6 children so he has a multitude of nieces and nephews whom he loved very much, as he did with his entire family. His beloved siblings Jack Foehl, Kate Becker (Foehl), Edward Foehl, Thomas Greenwald and Andy Greenwald preceded him in death.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend his funeral service at St. Teresa of Calcutta, 256 Swamp Pike, Schwenksville, PA 19473 on Monday October 27, 2025, at 11AM. Burial will follow in the Fernwood Cemetery, Royersford, PA. Friends will be received from 10:00 AM-11:00 AM at St. Teresa of Calcutta.
