Publish in a newspaper
He was born April 4, 1946 in Portland, the son of Joseph Sr and Pauline Mottershead.
Joe lived an active and adventurous life enjoying activities such as boating, offshore fishing, hunting, flying planes, competitive skeet shooting, motorcycling and other out door activities. One of Joe's favorite activities was attending the annual International Seaplane Fly-ins in Greenville Maine, where he was fortunate enough to attend with his coworkers at Maine Aviation.
One of Joe's passions in life was airplanes. He attended East Coast Aero Tech as an A&P Mechanic in the class of 1967. He was fortunate enough to spend the last nearly 15 years in sales with Maine Aviation and worked until his last day.
Joe was a business owner in a variety of fields including building houses, boat sales, car sales, and airplane sales. Joe's businesses included Downeast Dwellings, Scarborough Sports, Downeast Marine, Downwind Aviation and Auto Village.
He is survived by his wife Dorothy Mottershead (Married 9/11/1965), his daughter Karen Watson of Dover MA, and his son Barry Mottershead of Guyton GA and grand children Isabel Watson, Ian Watson and Aiden Mottershead.

Joe was a regular customer of ours for over 20 years. He would call to make sure we held a newspaper so he could have his crossword. Always a jokester and fun loving! He will be sorely missed at Westbrook Market. My prayers to the family and especially his wife. He was a
Loved man.
