Joe greatly enjoyed travel, playing golf, and spending summers at the family cottage at Devil's Lake, Michigan, where he and Lois have been long time members of the DLYC. Joe was a lifelong avid fan of Michigan State sports. Joe was ever quick with a joke, as the Irish generally are, and generously caring toward his family.

Following his generous and practical nature, Joe has donated his body to the Medical College of Ohio.
