Joseph D. Ryder, age 63, of Mullica Hill, NJ, passed away on February 15, 2022.

Joseph was born in Camden, NJ to the late Frederick Ryder and Angela Ryder (nee Delia).  He lived in Paulsboro and Runnemede before settling in Mullica Hill.  He graduated from Triton High School in Runnemede. In his younger years, Joe was very athletic.
