Joe was an active charter member of the Sherwood Lions, a retired Town of Harrison Fireman, and a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Sherwood. He loved to feed the birds and his one squirrel "George". Joe will be remembered for phoning family members and singing happy birthday on their special day.

Joe was truly a wonderful man who brightened up my Wednesday every week. He was sharp as a tack and had an amazing sense of humor. He will be missed by all of us at Countryside❤
