Joseph Tripoli III

Joseph Tripoli, III, age 54 of Morrisville, PA passed away suddenly on Monday, April 29, 2024 at his home.  Born in Stratford, New Jersey, Joseph lived in Penndel, PA before moving to Morrisville twenty years ago. 

Joseph owned a pizzeria for many years and then moved to the mattress industry where he spent almost 20 years in an upper management role.  He was most recently employed as a Regional Sales Manager with Mattress Warehouse for the past three years.  His favorite activities included taking trips to Disney World with his wife, and going to the beach and crabbing at Seaside Heights and Ocean City, NJ.  Joseph was also very fond of dining at fine restaurants and cooking at home.  An avid sports fan, his favorite team by far was the Philadelphia Flyers.

Joseph was a warm and loving individual, and his strongest asset was his huge desire to care for his loved ones. He loved his family deeply, and would do whatever necessary to make sure that they were happy and laughing at all times,  Joe was always the favorite uncle and loved playing with the kids. 

Every year, during the holiday season, Joe had a special tradition of cooking Christmas Eve dinner with his mother, utilizing beloved recipes passed down from his grandmother.  He so loved carrying on that special thing between he and his mother.  Joe would cook from morning to night, preparing a traditional Italian Christmas Eve dinner that made the holidays so magical for the entire family.

He will be sorely, but lovingly, missed by his entire family and all that knew him.

He is survived by his loving wife Dawn Marie (Mullen) Tripoli, his parents Joseph, Jr. and Irene (Colella) Tripoli of Yardley, a son Joseph Tripoli IV of Las Vegas, NV, two sisters Lisa Marie (Mark) Pellegrino of Yardley and Kristin Marie Tripoli of Newtown, his mother-in-law and father-in-law Thomas and Ruth Mullen of Langhorne, a brother-in-law Daniel J. Mullen of Langhorne, two grandchildren Layla Rose and Joseph Grayson Tripoli of Las Vegas, several nieces and nephews including Steven Thomas Pellegrino and Michelle Pellegrino, Daniel Addison Mullen, Asher Addison Mullen, and Violet Adelaide Mullen, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
