Joseph G. Sandulli
Joseph Sandulli died Wednesday, March 10, 2021 at
his beloved Ipswich home, with his wife and son at his side.
Joe was born in 1944 to Lena (Bertino) Sandulli and
Guido Sandulli and grew up in Bristol, Connecticut. He flew through the
Bristol schools, skipping grades, and started college at Carnegie Tech
(now Carnegie Mellon) University at the age of sixteen. He graduated with
a degree in chemical engineering and started a doctoral program at Yale
University.
While at Yale, he decided to take a different path.
Although he loved science, he wanted a career that would allow him to work
with others to affect social change. He applied to law school, graduating
from University of Pennsylvania law school in 1969. His experiences in the
working class city of Bristol led him to practice labor law, representing
employees.
Joe started his own law firm in Boston in 1977. He
and his partner Ken Grace saw their firm, Sandulli and Grace, quickly grow
into one of Boston’s premier labor law firms representing employees. Joe
retired in 2016, but remained active with the firm and generous with his
time, supporting clients and mentoring associates throughout his
retirement.
Joe loved the outdoors and was never happier than
when riding his horse on Crane’s Beach or on the North Shore trails. He
served on the board of the Essex County Trail Association, searching for
ways to allow everyone to enjoy the recreational riches of the area as he
did.
Joe is remembered for a relentless curiosity, an
aggressive confidence, and a joyous enthusiasm that allowed him to bring
creativity and insight to both his professional and personal life.
Joe is survived by his wife
of fifty-two years Christine (Loebel) Sandulli.
His son and daughter-in-law Guido and
Rebecca Sandulli, and beloved grandchildren Alex, Elena and Adah Sandulli
live in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was predeceased by son Ben Sandulli.
His sister, Joy Sandulli, and niece Emma
Korkola live in Saskatchewan Canada.
A memorial service will be held in early June.
Arrangements are by Whittier Porter Funeral Home of Ipswich.
