Joseph was born in Madeira, Portugal and moved to the US in 1948.
Joe loved his family, traveling, playing and watching sports, jogging, gardening, walking, hiking, bingo, and horse racing, among many other things. He spent several years coaching all three of his boys, even to a couple of league championships. He spent quality years being active with them on various pool, bowling, and even fantasy football leagues where he held the title of Champion a few times. Being active outdoors, whether working in the garden, jogging a few miles with his grandson, or simply enjoying the Jersey shore air, he loved to keep busy.
Joseph was predeceased by his siblings Maria, Louisa and Rufino.
Joe is survived by his very large family including, his wife Joan Ellermann Jardim and their 4 children, Tracy, Christopher, Kevin and Monica. 15 grandchildren Jacob, Justin, Jared, McKale, Phillip, Julianne, Malachi, Ember, Trayson, Jeremiah, Kelsey, Jael, Benjamin, Dante and Rebekah.
5 siblings. Manny, Fino, Jack, Louie and Teresa and many, many, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
Joseph Teixeira Jardim was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin, brother and friend and will be dearly missed by all.
Sempre em nossa mente, para sempre em nossos corações.
Descanse em paz José.
