Joseph Jeantet

Joseph E. Jeantet, Jr., 70, passed away on February 13, 2019. He was predeceased by his parents Joseph E. Jeantet, Sr and Margaret Jouvenal. Joe was a graduate of Ridley High School, of which his grandkids will be the third generation to complete. He worked for close to 45 years in industrial supply sales making many countless friends and relationships along the way. This was more than a job for Joe. He loved every aspect and loved to learn about the facilities he would tour and the local businesses he was helping to thrive. Joe was extremely proud and active in learning and promoting both his Italian Cultural background as well as his wife Elin's Danish heritage. They traveled many times to both countries in order to visit family, meet new members, and explore all that he could along the way. Joe felt very much at home whether visiting Aosta and Etroubles in Italy or Horne and Henne Strand in Denmark. He began to construct an intricate family tree years ago with his father and continued his quest to fill it over the years. Joe was instrumental in organizing an annual Jeantet family reunion to keep the extended family connected. He had many interests to keep him busy. His early loves were photography and playing tennis. Being so handy there was always a project for him to work on at home. He enjoyed watching and feeding the birds, especially with his granddaughter Corinne. Joe enjoyed music greatly and after discovering Italian singer Laura Pausini he spent time and effort traveling with Elin to see her in person multiple times. His greatest hobby of joy was building with Lego over the years. He constructed so many great displays and had an especially great bond with his son Dennis through this passion. They worked tirelessly to make wonderful pieces to share. Joe and Elin enjoyed being involved in The Danish Brotherhood Club making lifelong friends and keeping the traditions for their kids and grandkids. Joe served as president for many years and always kept great pressure on himself to take the lead in everything he was involved in. What Joe loved the most though were the times he spent with his family and friends. Whether it be a small gathering enjoying a good glass of wine and a great meal or a big party, that's when he was happiest. Joe is survived by his beloved wife Elin, loving sons Christian and Dennis, adoring grandchildren Dillan and Corinne, his sister Margaret Jeantet Boris and brother Steve Jeantet.
