January 22, 1938 - November 23, 2016 Joe (Joseph Carmine)
Esposito passed away peacefully in Calabasas, California, at 78. Joe was born
of Italian immigrants in Chicago, Illinois. He was a happy, jovial man who made
friends with everyone he met. Often his children were told "Your father is
the nicest man I've ever known!" An Italian through and through, he loved
to cook and entertain, nurturing family and friends, thriving in the laughter
and enjoyment around the table. His playful nature endeared him to many, and he
was gifted in reaching out and staying in touch. And, of course, music was a
great love¿ Best known as Elvis Presley's road manager and best friend, Joe and
Elvis met in the army in 1958, while stationed in Germany. They worked together
until Elvis' death in 1977. He also worked with Michael Jackson, The Bee Gees,
Karen Carpenter and John Denver. He has written multiple books about his life
with Elvis, and was a great source of stories and antidotes for Elvis fans
until the day he passed, constantly appearing at Elvis conventions and
celebrations. Joe was preceded in death by his wife, Martha (Gallub), and
survived by his three children, Debbie and Cindy - from his first marriage to
Joan (Kardashian), and Anthony - from his second marriage to Martha, and his
three grandchildren, Cody, Rebecca and Dylan. Private memorial only. Please
contact family at his email address. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made
in his memory to John Douglas French Alzheimer's Foundation (jdfaf.org).
