Joseph P. Lupinacci, age 85, of Laurel Springs, NJ, passed away on November 6, 2025.
For 54 years, he was the beloved husband of Catherine Lupinacci (nee Wieczezynski). He was also a devoted father to Paul Lupinacci (Tonya) and Robert Lupinacci (Lisa) and a loving grandfather to Kaitlin, Nicholas, Dominic, Alexander, and Zachary. Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Edith Lupinacci, and his siblings, Rose Conley, Eleanor Patrick, and Lillian Lupinacci.
Joe worked as a Systems Analyst at CIGNA for 25 years. He enjoyed playing golf and was especially proud of his hole-in-one at the International World Tour Golf Links. Joe loved playing chess with family and friends and was an avid fan of all Philadelphia sports teams. One of his favorite pastimes was writing inspirational blogs that he eventually compiled into a book. He was proud to have coached soccer at TBAA for 6 years. Most of all, Joe was known for his great sense of humor and his ability to talk to anyone.

Joe and I were best of friends way back to when we were kids in the 50's on Percy Street in North Philly. I still have countless memories of playing all kinds of street games such as box ball, touch football, half ball, wireball, etc. with "Loop" and a bunch of other kids in the neighborhood. I also remember both his parents and his sisters when they were nuns. All of them were loving, caring people.

When Joe was a priest he even baptized my niece Tracey in Norristown in the 60's. Later when Joe left the priesthood and married Cathy, my wife and I got together with them for lunch, and since then Joe and I usually periodically spoke of the good old days on the phone. I am sorry that I didn't phone him for quite some time to share some thoughts before he left us. I will truly miss him, but will always remember him for the great person and friend that he was.

My deepest condolences to Kathy, Paul, Robert, and the entire family on Joe's passing. Although it's been a long time since I've seen him, whenever I think back on Joe, he always has a smile on his face. My faith tells me, he will always be with you in spirit, and he will always be smiling.
