Joseph Bradley Becker, age 78, of Traverse City, MI passed away peacefully on March 27, 2021. Joe was born in New York City on November 8, 1942 to Julian and Estelle (Kuklin) Becker. He graduated from the Bronx High School of Science and went on to earn his bachelor's degree from the Baruch School of Business at the City College of New York in 1964. Throughout his life, Joe was a charming, hard-working, proud, and very determined man who was also a softy at heart and who loved to provide his caretaking abilities and a listening ear to his family and friends. Joe's most favorite hobby was to enjoy the sun and the beach.

Left to remember his love are his cherished wife Shelley Popa Becker, his children Adam (Jodi) Becker and Nancy Becker Bennett, both of whom he could (and would) boast about for hours on end, and his five adored grandchildren, Eric, Ryan, and Ellory Becker, and Sloane and Shoshana Bennett. Joe is also survived by his former wife and lifelong friend, Ricki Becker, his sisters, Valerie (Joel) Frankel and Claudia (Pete) Morrow, members of the Popa family, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends.

Private arrangements are being handled by the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home in Traverse City.
