A memorial service was held on Saturday, July 3, at the Loyal Order of Moose 
Lodge #1678 for Joseph Robert Biegenwald, 57, who passed away on June 25 after 
a lengthy illness.

Joseph was born on Feb. 5, 1947 in Pittsburgh, Penn. After graduating from 
Perry High School in 1965, he went to work in his father's coal yard. Joseph 
entered the military in 1968 where he served in the United States Army Medical 
Corps as a medical specialist at Valley Forge General Hospital in the 
operating room. 

After the military, Joseph started work in the construction industry, 
continuing in that field for the next 40 years. He was a member of the 
Teamsters Local 341 for 12 years and the remainder in the Operating Engineers

Penn. They moved to California that same year where he was employed by Granite 
Construction for many years. For the last few years, he worked for Griffith 
Company. 

Joseph enjoyed his work, his grandchildren, helping others when he could, and 
all the special times he had with friends RVing, 4-wheeling and taking jeep 
runs together. He will be greatly missed.
