Tendiglia, Joseph Paul. Saturday, August 23, 2025. Age 84. Joseph was an avid fisherman and boater. When he wasn't fishing, he was in the kitchen cooking the ultimate feast for family and friends. Joseph's career involved being the owner of a collision shop for over 40 years. His skillset was not limited to vehicles. Joseph was a jack of all trades, from laying down the foundation to his own home to installing wood flooring. Most of all, Joseph loved to share these skills with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom he greatly adored. Beloved husband of Donna Tendiglia of 38 adventurous, wonderful years. Dearest father of Rena (Allan) Scroggs, Nikki (Scott) Showers, Patrick (Michelle) Clark, and the late Angela Tendiglia and Lyn Korff. Adoring Papa of Andrew, Samantha, Jaclynn, Olivia, Amanda, Alex, Kevin (Abbie), and the late Michael. Loving great-grandfather of Killian and Jude. Caring brother of Kathleen and the late Christine. Joseph is also preceded in death by his parents Paul and Ruth Tendiglia.
