Joseph W. Nolan, successful businessman

Joe was born May 23, 1954, in Folcroft, Pa., to the late Thomas J. and Anna M. (Hoban) Nolan. He was a 1972 graduate of St. James High School in Chester, Pa., and a 1976 graduate of Penn State University. He was a successful business owner of Kwik Kopy Printing in Voorhees and Marlton, N.J., for 31 years along with his devoted husband, Paul, until their retirement in 2013.

 

His resourcefulness, entrepreneurial spirit, and his eye for creativity were unmatched. Joe’s enthusiasm for friends, music, cars, and gardening were his passions in life, and his time at the beach was a welcome refuge. Alongside Paul, they were active Sawgrass and Rehoboth Beach community members, and made many valued and lasting friendships. Joe was charming with a wonderful sense of humor and style, and loved engaging in conversation. He always greeted everyone with a smile!

 

Joe took great pleasure in being in the company of his sisters and brother, and was a doting uncle to his many nieces, nephews, and great-niece.

 

Joe is survived by his loving husband of 46 years, Paul Barbera; his sisters, Cathy Mattera (Sal) and Patricia Lang (Steve); his brother, Bill (Amy); his nephews, Alex (Amanda) and Brian Mattera; his nieces, Caitlin (Mattera) Borkowski (Brady), Alyssa and Erin Lang, Colette and Gretchen Nolan; his great-niece, Maeve Diane Mattera; as well as cousins, Joseph (“Charlie”) and Connie Venuto of Blackwood, N.J.
