“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Joseph ‘Wood’ Curado. Joe was a Son of the American Legion and someone who touched many lives in Hoboken, Jersey City and Northern New Jersey through his business, Tribeca Grain, and infectious spirit,” said John Carey, Commander
Hoboken American Legion Post 107.

“When we rebuilt Post 107, we turned to Joe and his talents to build a custom bartop and tables for our new home. He leaves behind craftmanship which will long be remembered and celebrated.
