Born on November 15, 1961 in Easton, PA, he was the son of the late Soccorso "Sam" and Rosaria (DiFrancesca) Rizzolino. Joe graduated from Easton Area High School in 1980. As a savvy business person, he was the former co-proprietor of Palmer Nursery and co-proprietor of Rizzolino Associates Real Estate. He was a member of The Greater Lehigh Valley Realtors.

After his retirement, Joe kept busy with the work he did for St. Luke's Hospital which he truly enjoyed. He also donated much of his time and talents to the greater Palmer Township Community for many years. During football season, he could be found cheering his favorite team, The Dallas Cowboys. During the warmer weather, he shared the camaraderie of his friends golfing on the greens. His favorite memory of these times was when he shot a hole in one at Green Pond Country Club.
