A warm, kind, outgoing and giving man, he was a former coach for the South Attleboro White Hawks football League, as well as for boys and girls softball and basketball teams in the area. Joseph was one of the founders of both the South Attleboro Girls Recreation Association (S.A.G.R.A.) and South Attleboro Boys Recreation Association (S.A.B.R.A.).

(Perry) Poulin, of Pawtucket, RI; and the late Dennis J. Poulin who passed away in 1972.
