Joseph M. Scheidly Jr., 68, of Collingdale, PA, passed away peacefully at home in the early hours of Friday morning after a year-long battle with prostate cancer. Born and raised in Upper Chichester, PA, he was the son of the late Joseph M. Scheidly Sr. and Dolores (née Wothers) Scheidly.

A gifted and dedicated individual, Joseph was a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, where he earned his Master's degree in Fine Arts. Throughout his life, he applied his talents in various creative fields, working for Recreation Courts and Cast Construction for the majority of his career. Alongside his work in construction, Joseph shared his passion for art and architecture as a teacher at Drexel University and Philadelphia University which later became Jefferson University. Outside of his professional endeavors Joe loved creating new paintings, going to the casinos and attending music shows with his son.

For more than 30 years, Joseph was a devoted parishioner of St. Barnabas Catholic Church in Southwest Philadelphia, dedicating his time to decorating, fixing, and helping out in any way he possibly could.

Joseph is survived by his beloved wife, Sandra (née Schultz) Scheidly; his son, Joseph M. Scheidly III; his brother, Stephen J Scheidly and wife, Frances Scheidly, and nephew, Stephen J Scheidly Jr. His legacy will live on in the memories of those fortunate enough to have known him.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Joseph's honor to a cancer research organization of your choice.
