Joe cherished spending time with his daughters and grandchildren and socializing with his large contingent of friends.

Joe was a longtime and proud member and friend to many in Local 17 and The Newton Elks. Quite simply, Joe was a gift to all those who knew him. Three things invariably happened if you spent any time around Joe: -You would smile -You would laugh -You would hear an interesting story or opinion Joe was honest, humble, hard-working, loyal, devoted, loving, unselfish and witty. He was simply a great guy. "Between Fathers and Daughters … They'll never be sons, those three mysterious young women. But somehow, they are more special to me, because we've found good reason to love one another." "And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."

Sorry to read this so late. Joe and me were not close in HS but we shared many of the same interests. He was popular and a friend to all. There are fewer of us, Class of '59, as the years progress. See you soon, Joe.
