Joe served in the U. S. Army as a paratrooper and really enjoyed talking about his experiences about jumping out of airplanes.  He was store and regional manager of Fred's Dollar Store for many years.  Joe liked to work in the yard and his garden and loved spending time with his grandchildren.  Even though he had mixed dementia, he retained sparks of himself to the end.  He was a member of Rock Corner Baptist Church.
