Joe was a great and loving provider for his family. He always was there for anyone in need. He was an avid James Bond fan, who owned the full movie collection and would have a celebratory martini "shaken, not stirred". Joe enjoyed going to Riverdowns, car shows, the movie Happy Gilmore, and loved watching reruns of Golden Girls and Everybody Loves Raymond.

Joe adored being a paw paw more than anything. The grandkids always made him happy , even on a not so great day.

Joe has been suffering from dementia over the five years. Even with that diagnosis Joe had an amazing spirit and humor. Due to his girls love for him they took great care of him over the 5 years, where he was able to live out comfortable and happy surrounded by so much love in his own home til the very end. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family. 

There will be a celebration of Joe's life at a later date.
Joe will be forever missed and always loved and remembered.
