Joseph Anthony Materna, Esq., of Prince’s Bay, a noted Staten Island attorney known as much for his love of family as his legal expertise, died Wednesday, Jan. 27, after a short and aggressive battle with Covid-19. He was 73 and died in Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.
He was surrounded by his wife, Dolores, daughters Jodi Marie (son-in-law Tad Davis), Jennifer, and Janine. He and his wife just celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary Dec. 14.
Mr. Materna achieved many accomplishments in life but beamed when he was recognized by Columbia University as the first alumnus of Columbia College in its history who had three daughters who also graduated from Columbia College.
