Joseph Martin Digulimio Jr. of Lusby, Md. passed away at Chesapeake Hospice of Waldorf on March 15, 2024. He suffered multiple strokes from September 2023 to March 15, 2024. Joe was in rehab centers and hospitals that entire time period. Joe was born November 12, 1956 in Wash. D.C. to his late father, Joseph M. Digulimio and mother, Helen S. Digulimio ( now Carter ). Early in his infant year, Joe was diagnosed with spinal meningitis. A miraculous operation saved his life, but he developed epilepsy as a result of the operation. Joe had a tough time dealing with the epilepsy, but in the long run, he persevered. Joe enjoyed many fishing trips with his father and brother Mike throughout his early years. Unfortunately, in 1968, he lost his father to a heart attack. Joe lived with his grandmother, Marie Booth and grandfather, Raymond Booth Sr. throughout his remaining school years. He wanted to live near his close friends, and the environment he was comfortable with. Joe, in his late teen years, loved to play tackle football with his friends and family on the weekends in the late fall. He was a tough player, and a hard tackler. But, we learned quickly not to pass the ball to him. He did not catch well. He earned the nickname "Iron Hands". Joe continued with his fishing hobby. He would go on fishing trips with his uncle Raymond and friends during the summer months. Joe graduated from Potomac High School in Oxon Hill Md. in 1975. He then began working in the automotive field. He first worked for Merchant Tire for a few years. Then, he began a life long career employment with Winegardner Chevrolet in the new and used car preparation department. Joe met Andrea Corbin through a friend of hers in 2000. Joe and Andrea became Life long Domestic Partners beginning in 2004. Joe and Andrea resided at her home in Lusby, Md. for the rest of his life. He also became a big Washington Redskin football fan, and remained so throughout his life. He loved his trips to Ocean City, Md. and vacations with Andrea. Joe loved to talk about cars, and could tell you what cars not to buy. He also enjoyed playing cards with Andrea's family. Joe loved Andrea and her family. He considered her family as his own extended family. We all loved Joe, and he will be missed. Joe is survived by his mother, Helen Carter; his brother, Raymond Michael Digulimio ( Mike ) and his family; his life Domestic Partner, Andrea Corbin and her family; his uncle, Raymond Booth; his aunt, Hilarie Digulimio; His cousin, Cynthia Digulimio; his cousin, Sandra Pulsifer; and his cousin, Stephen Herbert and his family.
