He was a member of the Natick Fire Department. He had 15 years of service. Previous to this he had been a dispatcher for 11 years.
Joseph died of sarcoma, a form of cancer. His death is considered a line of duty death because of all of the chemicals he breathed in during his firefighting career.
Fire Department officials describe Joseph as dedicated to his job. He attended many training seminars to improve his skills and knowledge. They also describe him as a model firefighter who was great at his job.
Fellow firefighters are devastated at his death.
