A true outdoorsman at heart, Joe found great joy in hunting, fishing, and camping. He was a longtime member of the Maynard Rod and Gun Club, where he also served as a range officer, as well as a longtime member of the Maynard Lodge of Elks. In later years, Joe rediscovered his love for motorcycle riding, which brought him great happiness. Above all else, Joe cherished time spent with his family, which was always his greatest joy and priority.

In addition to his beloved wife Arlene, Joe is survived by his two sons, Steven Corriveau and his partner, Deborah Davis, of Clinton, and Scott Corriveau of Leominster.
