Obituary for Joseph B. Giesler Jr. Print Joseph Bernard Giesler, Jr. was born on January 17, 1941 to Rose (nee Flynn) and Joseph Bernard Giesler, Sr. in Elizabeth NJ. He grew up in Roselle and graduated from Marist High School in Bayonne NJ. Joe enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served aboard ship in the 1962 naval blockade during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
He later was a member of the Military Police on the island of Okinawa, Japan where he served 13 months. Following honorable discharge from the Corps, Joe apprenticed and became a highly skilled mold maker in the plastics industry.

He married his high school sweetheart, Janice, and together they raised five children while living in Roselle, NJ and North Plainfield, NJ for 30 years. Joe retired and moved with his wife to Columbus, NJ in 2002.
