Joseph Meadows, 55, of Meriden, beloved husband of Susan and cherished father of Joey Jr. and Christina, went home to be with our Lord on Monday, November 1st at Middlesex Hospital. He was born in Bridgeport on December 15, 1965; a son of Ethel (Dayton) Meadows and the late Jesse Meadows. As a young man, Joseph graduated from Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury and then obtained his degree in Turf Management from UMASS. He then became a certified Connecticut Arborist. He was the co-owner of Meadows Brother Landscaping in Newtown; he then worked as Assistant Superintendent of the Connecticut Golf Club in Easton. He created Meadowscape LLC in Meriden while working as Mr. Mom and then moved on to Pioneer Aerospace in South Windsor. Joe truly enjoyed the outdoors; he loved motocross, riding his dirtbike, creating snow sculptures, skydiving and parachute rigging. He was a member of many clubs and organizations including Milford Riders, Meriden Rod and Gun Club, Meriden Ski Club, Adirondack Luge Club, CT Tree Association, CT Groundskeepers Association and The Santa Society. His greatest joy in life however, was spending time with his family, especially his children. Joe was a loving husband, father, son, brother and friend. He was a man of many talents and great humor and will be dearly missed. Joe is survived by his beloved wife, Susan; his children, Christina Meadows and Joseph Meadows Jr. both of Meriden; his mother, Ethel Meadows of Newtown; his sister, Kathy Crisci of Southbury; his brother, Jesse Meadows Jr. and his wife, Jessica of New Milford; as well as many extended family members and friends.
