The Joseph Gregory Fernandez Memorial Scholarship
Joe was smart, funny, sincere, kind, a generous son and brother, and a loyal friend.
He truly loved the electrical profession and worked hard at every task he was assigned. Joe had an amazing work ethic, was a fast learner and always helped others during his classes and on job-sites. He became a mentor and friend to all he worked with.
Joe's sense of humor and sincerity will be missed by everyone.
Joe was a graduate of Northern Valley Old Tappan High School and attended The University of Rhode Island.
