Also many nieces, nephews and dear friends. Joe was a loving father and husband who cherished his family and friends. He enjoyed wintering at his home in Indian Shores, Florida with his wife Barbara, and his Florida family and friends. He loved gardening and was a talented mechanic that could repair or improve anything that did not perform to his perfectionist expectation. He was raised in Iron Mountain, Michigan where he was an outstanding athlete. He set and held the record for 100 Yard dash in upper Michigan for 27 years. His athletic talents served him well when he played football as the starting halfback for his Army Base football team. His wife Barbara, his children, family and friends were his passion and he was always there for them. He will be missed for his generosity, humor and the love he provided.
