He was born in Phoenixville to the late Irvin and the late Anna (Moore) Kulp.  He lived and worked in East Vincent and East Pikeland for most of his life.

Joseph is survived by his children, son, Joe Jr., of Midvale Idaho; and daughter Kimberly Kulp of Bethlehem; and his two sisters, Ruth and Margaret “Peg” Koch; and six  grandchildren.  He is predeceased by his sister Mildred.
