Joseph Johnston

Joseph was a man known for his handy skills and helpful nature, he lived a life full of laughter and integrity. Whether he was standing up for what was right or cracking jokes, Joseph’s presence was always felt. He had a unique nickname for everyone, always having a playful and personal approach to friendships. Joseph’s love for TV shows like Family Guy and American Dad reflected his light-hearted spirit, while his passion for fishing and crabbing showed his connection to the outdoors. He even made the Burlington County Times for the “Drug-Free NJ Campaign” in Browns Mills, NJ, a proud moment for him and his community. Though not much of a cook, Joseph never shied away from a good meal. He played football in his younger years and graduated virtually in 2020 during the pandemic, a milestone in a challenging time. Joseph had a knack for taking things apart and putting them back together, especially electronics, always curious and inventive.
