Age 95, of Castle Shannon, PA, passed away peacefully on February 22, 2026. Joe was born on October 28, 1930, to the late Helen (Paulsen) and Albert Pfab. He graduated from Central Catholic High School and went on to work as a Salesman where he eventually met his beloved wife of 53 years, Janet. He was the loving father of Pat (Tim) Clark, Janet (Mark) Wroblewski, Joyce (Michael) Tokarsky, Judy (John) Bourne, and Jodi (Brad) Casteel; dearest “Pap” of 13 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Joe was preceded in death by his first wife Theresa, and his 4 sisters.
Joe was known for his love, quick humor, and ability to fix anything. He lent out many tools and kept track of how long it took you to return them, and we all knew better than to return them dirty, late, or worst of all, broken! He enjoyed and especially cherished family time, community involvement and church volunteering.
