Joe was born in Gary, Indiana and grew up in Calumet Park, Illinois. He was a good humored jokester who had a memorable laugh. He could fix anything and was an all-around handyman. He gave good advice and enjoyed telling stories. He then enlisted and became an Electrician in the U.S. Navy during the height of the Vietnam War. After the war, he cultivated a sense of social justice along with an appreciation of rock-n-roll and a mellow buzz that never left him. He later married his wife Marie (Bunnie), raised a family, and spent many years until he retired working for AT&T. He moved to Seattle in 2015 to be with his daughter and son-in-law and grandson. He loved the fall colors, nature, animals, playing Chess, playing poker, and any card game you could think of. He loved living in Seattle and thought it was so beautiful, and always appreciated the rain because it made everything green and alive.
