Joe, also affectionately known as 'Ole Joe,' loved to create things and tinker on various projects. His favorite invention was a three-wheeled bike that he rode one year in the National Asparagus Festival parade.
Joe was a skilled welder for almost 40 years with Shaw-Walker from where he retired. He was also an avid traveler, proud to have traveled to 47 of the continental United States notably, he and his family traveled to Mackinaw to see the newly constructed Mackinac Bridge in 1957.
Joe proudly served his country in the U.S. Army, and was a veteran of WWII. He was also a devout member of First Baptist Church in Hart, where he was a past Deacon, and volunteered in various capacities at the church and Christian school.
Joe is survived by his children, Edward (Sylvia) Fishel, Linda Fishel, Andrew Fishel, Donald Fishel and Lois (Kenneth) Johnson; eight grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and brother, Manuel Fishel.
On March 7, 1946, Joe married Mildred (Marrison) Fishel, and she preceded him in death in 2014. He was also preceded in death by his parents and seven siblings.
