Joe served his country in the United the States Army. For over 50 years, he worked in the steel and water products industries as an experienced welder.

He enjoyed coaching his sons and grandchildren in baseball or softball. Joe wanted to have a good time no matter what he was doing. Telling jokes or playing pranks on friends and family always brought him joy. He also loved fishing, hunting, and meeting new people; he never met a stranger.
