Joseph received his education in The Baltimore City School system attending: Walbrook High School and the Community College of Baltimore. Joseph is a Graduate of the Allied Van Line Tractor Trailer School. Joseph was a professional long-term driver for Von Paris traveling over many states and cities. His most pride about his job is when he assisted in the move of the Ravens to our Baltimore’s Charm City, which he often bragged about. He drove for United States Postal Service, Thomasville/Scan Furniture, and many other companies. When he could no longer drive the 18 wheelers Joseph started working for various cab companies locally. There was a daily love for Joseph to be mobile, as he had much compassion for those he came in contact with. Joseph was always keeping everyone laughing with his joking, upbeat and humorous, and congenial spirit. Joseph was a member of the City Temple of Baltimore Baptist church where The Rev Dr Grady A Yeargin Jr serves as his Pastor. At an early age Joseph was baptized by the late Rev Dr William Washington Payne, and attended Sunday School and was a member of The Junior Missionary Ministry at City Temple. Later in life he continued to serve God by delivering Annual Thanksgiving Dinners where thousand were fed. He also enlisted in the Navy for a season, but later realized that was not his true calling. After Joseph’s stroke he was a determined person who fought a good fight. He made it through so many health challenges and obstacles with help and prayers and the grace of God. The Dr’s never thought he would walk or talk due to Aphasia. Joseph leaves to treasure and cherish his memories: His Loving mother Rev. Dr. Susan A Spears.
