Joseph Rioux Obituary
He was the husband of Jennifer Ann (Bernard) Rioux.
Born in Providence, RI, he was the son of the late Robert E. and Shirley R. (Pimental) Rioux.
Joey worked as a carpenter for Union Local 330 for over 20 years. He enjoyed fishing, cooking, playing games with family and going to the beach. The Fourth of July was his favorite holiday. His hobby was restoring his 1980 Chevy Camaro.
Joey had a crazy sense of humor and his heart was as big as the ocean. His passion was helping others, and he took care of many like they were his own children. He often asked them "What are you thankful for today?"
