Born in Philadelphia he was the son of the late Joseph S. and Julia (Nemetz) Corona.

He was a U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War serving with the 196th Light Infantry Brigade and a veteran of the U.S. Navy Reserves. Joseph was proud of his military service and his union brotherhood. Many fond family memories were centered on days spent at Nockamixon Park on the weekends, teaching his grand daughter to swim, and sending quiet time with his wife. His lack of social awareness regarding where he often stepped in the yard and then came into the house resulted in his nickname, Poopy Shoes Pop-Pop and a song by the same name. He kept himself busy during his retirement becoming involved in the shortwave radio community (ARRL) and participating in search and rescue operations with his tracking dog, Kody. Kody and Joseph were proud members of both the Blue Mountain and Lehigh Valley Rescue Teams. Kody eventually became Josephs service dog.
