Joseph Thomas Euliano, left this earth to be with his Lord in Heaven Wednesday, September 25th, 2019 at 79 years of age. His college sweetheart and beloved wife Diana Craggs Euliano was at his side when he succumbed to complications after surgery in Palms West Hospital at 5:45 p.m. They had just celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary. Joseph and Diana have resided in Royal Palm Beach, Florida since 2004.

Joseph was born to Joseph and Etta Euliano on October 10th, 1939 and grew up in Meadville, Pennsylvania. His talent and love of basketball earned him the nick name 'Jumpin Joe' in the local newspapers. He graduated from Alliance College and began his career in 1961 as a Merchandise Manager for the JCPenney Company. Joseph earned numerous promotions that resulted in a dozen transfers with his family throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, then retired as the Store Manager of the company's third largest store at the time in Springfield, Virginia in 1998. One of the company's most successful store managers, he was also one of their most respected…everyone dearly loved 'Mr. E'. Joseph, a devout Catholic, was a man of great faith, principle and integrity. He always helped others both personally and professionally whenever possible. Anyone who met him was instantly drawn to his warmth and compassion. His family will miss his presence, sense of humor and words of wisdom beyond description.
