McArdle Jr and his wife Meg of Falmouth, MA; Kristi Holden and her husband Michael of Hingham; Michael and wife Kristin of Milton; Debbie and husband Michael Bostrom of Norwell; sister Susan Maffie and husband Bill of Quincy; sixteen grandchildren, nephew Bill Maffie and wife Heather of Newton, and countless friends.

Joe is lovingly remembered for his loyalty to family, quick wit and good-natured personality. A member of the Sheet Metal Workers Local 17 for over 40 years, Joe's strong work ethic was matched by his lifelong pursuit of having a good time. Joe lived in South Florida for many years and shared his love of fishing, the beach and cold beer with the many friends he made along the way.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Joe's memory can be made to Old Colony Hospice, 321 Manley Street, West Bridgewater, MA 02379.
