Joseph F. Baus “Dink,” 89 of Mullica Hill, NJ, passed away on May 21, 2024, surrounded by his loved ones. Born on November 28, 1934, in PA, Joe moved his family to NJ in 1960, and soon after, began working at DuPont’s Petroleum Lab, where he enjoyed a long and successful career. After retiring from DuPont, he went to work for Core Lab and at age 59 fully retired.  In 1983, Joe and his wife, Jean, moved from Oak Valley to Mullica Hill into the Log Cabin they built. Upon his retirement, he enjoyed gardening (vegetables), woodworking, fishing, and wine making.

Joe was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Ann Baus, wife Jean (nee Dunlap, d. 2012), Brother Fred (d. 2018) daughter Joanne (d. 1989), son Joseph (d. 2022), youngest daughter Patricia (d. 2019), and granddaughter Shannon (d. 1989).

He was a loving father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather who is survived by his sister Margaret “Peggy” Grasso, his daughter Regina “Jeannie” Wood, his nephews Fred and Eugene Baus,  Marc Baus, Tony Bongiorno and Joey Grasso, his beloved grandchildren Danielle Rosiello, Samantha Niroda, Kristen Kelly, Robert J Peterson, Russell Wood III, Alysia Hasselman, Ryan Peterson, Brianna Barbaccia, and great-grandchildren Arbor Pyle,  Lucas Niroda, Cassandra Rosiello, Tristen Abbott,  Bella Peterson, Julianna Niroda, Avrylinn Miller, Judah Peterson, Josephine Peterson, Zaryina Barbaccia, and Eli Peterson.

Dink was known to live by, “Waste not, Want not” motto and saved EVERYTHING!

Despite not being a fan of the beach, he took his wife and children to Wildwood each summer where they enjoyed beach time, riding bikes, and the boardwalk.

His grandchildren and great-grandchildren remember him for his big hugs, endless silly jokes and comments, and fun rides on his tractor “Big Red” and golf cart.

In his last years, he enjoyed walks and rides on his golf cart with Zuzu, a faithful companion who was always by his side, watching his great-grandchildren swim and play in the pool or ride go-carts at his house, and family dinners and get togethers.

Family and friends are invited to his viewing Sunday, June 2, 2024 from 7-9pm at FERTIG FUNERAL HOME, 63 N. Main St., Mullica Hill, NJ 08062. A viewing will also be held Monday, June 3, from 10-11am at Catholic Community of the Holy Spirit, HOLY NAME OF JESUS CHURCH, 17 Earlington Ave., Mullica Hill, NJ followed by Mass of Christian Burial at 11:15am.  Interment will be at a later date.

Uncle Dink, I will miss all the Facebook messages I'd get from you during and after the Eagles games. We both had such a passion for our team. You will be greatly missed! Rest in peace and please give my mom, dad, and brother a hug for me.
