Dear friend of Gary Pennock, Anthony Liberto and Anthony Mascoveto. Also survived by loving cousins and friends. Joe was a very accomplished Guitarist who studied with greats like legendary Jazz Guitarist Pat Martino. Joseph was a musician, sound engineer, producer and guitarist. He played guitar with local band “Party Wave” with band owner Rita Stafford Mazuk.
He performed up and down the east coast in every venue you can imagine. He became known as “The Ultimate” cause that’s what he was.
He later ventured into becoming a sound tech and started his company Ultimate Studio Sound Services.
He ran sound for bands in the Tri-State area earning a reputation for having a great set of ears making bands sound amazing. In addition to this Joe also operated a recording studio and served bands and artists from all musical backgrounds. One artist is Guitarist/ Songwriter Charlie Gracie.
Every New Year Joe would look forward to running sound for the Vikings Fancy Mummers Brigade. He totally loved doing this.
losing Joe is a major loss to the entertainment business!
