Joe served in the United States Air Force. He spent most of his career working as a welder and enjoyed working with his hands. He especially loved sports and was the team captain for both his bowling and dart leagues. Everyone that knew Joe, knew he was a diehard fan of the NY Mets and NY Giants, evidenced by the constant team shirts he wore on rotation. The life of the party, no matter the occasion, it was customary to “take a shot” with Joe. Known for his infectious smile, kind nature and strong sense of family, Joe will be sadly missed by all.
