Born in Porto de Mós, Portugal on August 20, 1956, he was the son of the late Manuel Francisco Vasco and Ermelinda Rosa De Oliveira. Joe immigrated to the United States settling in Springfield and was employed for many years at USA Hauling and Recycling. He was an avid fan of the Buffalo Bills and Benfica soccer, and also loved playing cornhole, especially with 413 Cornhole in Chicopee; but his greatest joy in life was spending time with his family and friends.

Visiting hours for Joe will be held on Sunday, December 29th from 4:00-7:00pm at Ludlow Funeral Home.
