In his early '80s, Joseph still worked as a Camden County Clerk for Camden, NJ, after holding several other positions in the county, such as Freeholder and Vice President.

The couple has another daughter, Linda, who is a few years older than Kelly. Together they have six beautiful grandkids and don't live too far from New York City, where Kelly resides.
