Joe worked the late shift at Hannaford's Supermarket the past several years. Previously he worked for Imperial Distributions and Avery Dennison Corp.

He was a hard worker who loved nature, feeding the birds, his home, and most of all his family. Joe was a former Golden Glove Boxer, and an avid softball fan. He played in his younger years, and later coached Taurie's team with great success. He was a loving son, father, papa, and friend and he will be sorely missed by all that knew and loved him.

As Joe would say "Throttle up every single day of life, because time flies is for real"
