Joseph was born in Boston son of the late Joseph Sr. and Patricia (Cahill) Sullivan. He was a graduate from Quincy High School and lived in Quincy until his late 20’s when he moved to Worcester. Joseph was the chief engineer at the Embassy Suites Hotel in East Boston for many years where he worked until his passing. He was dedicated to his work and was thought of very highly by his co-Workers. 

Joseph enjoyed golfing, music, travel and was a lifelong New England sports fan. He had a wild sense of humor and a unique sense of fashion! He loved to make people laugh and was always there with a quick joke or a shoulder to lean on. He enjoyed spending his free time with family and friends who will all miss him endlessly. In Joseph’s memory, the family asks that you live your life to the fullest every day, as he always did.

To remember and celebrate Joseph’s life, calling hours with the family will be held on Friday June 8, 2018 from 4PM to 7PM in the MERCADANTE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL 370 Plantation St. To leave a message of condolence or share a special memory of Joseph please visit his memorial site at mercadantefuneral.com
