Joseph also leaves behind ahost of cousins, nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.

Joseph was born on July 25, 1939 in Jersey City, NJ to Nicoletta (née Bocca) and Dominick Truglio. Joseph was strong willed and stubborn at times, a true “Hobokenite.” Joseph had a heart of gold and a great sense of humor. He was generous, compassionate, and the most loyal friend that anyone could ever ask for. He was an avid sports fan and his canine companions were dear to him.

He will be remembered for all of the love and kindness that he shared with his friends and family; if you were fortunate enough to have been loved by Joseph then you were truly blessed indeed.

When his time came, he carried himself with dignity and grace, and was full of love for those who went before him. He was truly one of a kind and will be sorely missed.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, July 11th, at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church, 704 Jefferson St, Hoboken, NJ 07030, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. followed by a mass at 11:30 am.

A private cremation will be held at East Ridgelawn Cemetery in Clifton, NJ.
