Joseph A. "Joe" Marino Jr.
February 6, 1942 — November 24, 2020
Joseph A. “Joe” Marino, Jr., a native of New Orleans, beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed away peacefully at his home on November 24, 2020 after a valiant fight with ALS. He was 78 years old. His parents, Joseph A. Marino, Sr. and Margaret Gabler Marino, preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife Kathleen Maggiore Marino, son Joseph A. Marino, III, son David J. Marino (Shannon Marie), daughter Kristen Washington, brother Richard Marino (Lynn), brother Terrance Marino (Susan), nine grandchildren, one great-grandchild and a host of nieces and nephews.
He met the love of his life, Kathy, on a blind date in college. They were married in 1965 and were nearly inseparable for the next 55 years. He was a member of the Class of 1960 at Holy Cross School. He served honorably in the Marine Corps Reserve. He graduated from Southeastern University and the Southern University Law Center. At Shell Oil he was a financial analyst and then an oil field construction foreman with Chevron. He attended law school at the age of 57. Upon graduation, he partnered with his son Joe at Marino Criminal Law. Later he worked as an attorney for the 24th Judicial District Court Drug Court program where he remained until he retired. He had a passion for helping people struggling with addiction to become productive members of society.
Joe was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing. At this time of the year, he would likely be sitting in a deer stand. He particularly enjoyed having large family get-togethers at his home to celebrate holidays, birthdays and other occasions.
The family would like to thank and acknowledge his exceptional caretakers including Melvina Kelly, the Gleason Foundation, the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Healthcare System ALS Clinic, Dr. Steve Kantrow and the Guardian Angels Hospice.
Due to COVID-19 the funeral service will unfortunately be private. Donations in his name may be made to the Team Gleason Foundation at teamgleason.org or sent to Team Gleason Foundation, P.O. Box 24493, New Orleans, LA 70184. Additionally friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guest book at www.mothefunerals.com .
