He was a member of the retirees club, Sages. He was a past member of the Knights Of Columbus, and Kiwanis club.
Joseph spent a lot of time boating and enjoyed fishing or just relaxing on the water. Joseph and Nancy loved to travel and visited many places such as: Europe, Bahamas, Hawaii, Canada, and Cancun to name a few.
After their traveling years, and for the last 25 years, Joseph and Nancy bought a farm in Montgomery County, where you would always find Joseph doing something, whether it was mowing, chain sawing, building things (he even helped build his Dads house), or doing hayrides with the family. He was a very hard worker. He enjoyed the church dinners and would go to the yearly picnics at the Parish.
Joseph was loved and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
