Country girl from Erial, NJ meets city boy from Camden, NJ! 

Ann Dempsey was entering her senior year in high school when she met Joe Dariano who was in college. 

It was love at first sight.  After graduation from Haddonfield Memorial High, Joe and Ann were married on August 17, 1957.

They lived in New Jersey and added 5 children; Joseph, David, Steven, Kathleen and Kimberly.

In 1973, they moved the family to Pennsylvania.
 
Joe worked at RCA as a software engineer on a computer that took a whole city block.

He joined Reedtech as the 8th fulltime employee and worked his way to the top as president.

When he retired in 2002 the company had 1400 employees. 

Ann worked at Independent Bible Church as secretary to the pastor for 23 years.
 
As they aged, they found their large home and property in Montgomeryville

too large to maintain and decided to look for a retirement community.  They moved into VAD on July 5, 2004.
 
Joe loves music of all kinds, plays the keyboard and has produced 2 CD’s of hymns. 

He also keeps up to date on computers and technology.  Ann loves doing jigsaw puzzles, reading and baking.

Both are active in their church participating in many activities and visiting the homebound and sick.

So far, God has blessed them with 13 grandchildren (one in glory) and 14 great grandchildren.
