October 2, 1935, to December 13, 2025.

PITTSFORD — Joe Daley died peacefully at home in Pittsford NY at the age of 90.

Born in Detroit, MI, Joe grew up in Olean, NY, and graduated from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with an Electrical Engineering degree in 1957. He married Mary Ann Donnelly in 1960 and together they raised their four children in Fairport NY: Chuck, Kathleen, Marie and Anita.

Joe worked for General Dynamics in Rochester, with a two-year field assignment in Hof, Germany, where Chuck was born. He also worked at Harris Corporation for 20 years until he retired in 1990, where he worked with NASA and the Department of Defense in radio communications.
