| Joe Driscoll, a Manalapan resident for 35 years, was killed on September 11th, 2001, aboard United Airlines Flight #93 in the attack on America. A great athlete and outdoorsman, Joe was heading to Yosemite National Park in California for his annual hiking trip when terrorists hijacked Flight # 93. Joe was 70 years old. Joe and his wife Maureen were looking forward to celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary that year. He was a father of four children and had five grandchildren. As a member of the US Navy, Joe served on the USS Power during the Korean War. He graduated first in his class from the New York University School of Engineering and earned a Master's Degree in Computer Science from Rutgers University. Joe retired from Bellcore as Executive Director of Software Development. As a member of The Yorktowne Club, a community benevolent organization located in Manalapan, Joe spent countless hours coaching sports, teaching and giving back to his community. As many of his family and friends have come to say, "Joe lived as a hero. It is no surprise he died as one." Help us honor Joe and carry on the giving he did so freely. Joe Driscoll was a true gift to us all.
