Joseph "Butch" Binder, age 76, passed suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday, August 31, 2017 at his home.   He was born on September 25 ^th , 1940 in the Bronx, NY to Joseph and Veronica Binder.   Joe was a family member to 129 separate families, serving as a doorman at an apartment in Manhattan for 25 years.  Joe was a devoted husband to his wife of over 40 years- Phyllis; father to his ever grateful and loving son, Richard; father-in-law to Karen, who he adored; and doting and amazing Grandpa to Natalie, Thomas, and Veronica.  Joe also loved and respected his step-sons, Michael and Paul Maulucci, and their families.

Joe's second love after his family was his beloved NY Football Giants and NY Yankees; he also loved the NY Knicks and NY Ranger, as well.  Most of Joe's best moments were spent eating, drinking, and laughing with his closest family- all while a Giants or Yankee game was on the TV.   Joe's main interest was the health and well-being of his family and friends- he was a most caring, honest, and honorable man.

Family and friends may visit on Sunday, September 3, 2017 from 1-3PM and from 5-7PM at Barranco & Sons, P.A. Severna Park Funeral Home, 495 Ritchie Highway in Severna Park, MD.  Joe would not want lots of sadness- he would want people reminiscing and laughing about his family, Giants, and Yankees.
