In a career spanning over 50 years, Joe was a revered Hudson Valley radio personality, familiar voiceover artist and local MC. His signature greeting of, "If no one has said it as yet, let me be the first "¦you're looking good kid" was a hallmark of his morning radio show.

Later in his career he purchased back a single unit in Newburgh and rebranded it as Joe Manglass' Sandwich World. Survivors include his wife, of 62 years, Terry Manglass of Newburgh; son Joseph J. Manglass and his wife, Robin of Beacon; daughter, Susan Manglass and her partner, Gregg Weiss of Circleville; a brother, Ralph J.
