He was born in Punxsutawney on May 26, 1941, a son of the late John Joseph and Beatrice (Williams) Joseph.
Sam spent over 30 years working for Speer Carbon, where he dedicated himself to the hard, honest work that defined much of his life.
He was a quirky, boisterous character with a kind heart, who always put in a good word and a helping hand for anyone in need.
Sam was happiest sharing his days with his girlfriend, Nancy Siverling, best known as ""Little Bit.""
They spent countless hours enjoying simple pleasures together; their bond was a testament to the love and friendship that enriched his final years.
He was a member of the Walston Club, the Eagles and Moose.
Sam is survived by two children, Ruthie R. (Adam) Popson and Michael John Joseph, both of DuBois; six grandchildren, Adam (Makenzie) Popson, Johnna Kunselman, Tyler Joseph, Taylor Joseph, Michael John Joseph, Jr. and Izzabellah Joseph; and many great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, William Joseph; and his companion Nancy.
In accordance with his wishes, there will be no visitation. Arrangements have been entrusted to Shumaker Funeral Home, Inc., Punxsutawney.
