Joe was a witty man, with a lead foot, and a sharp tongue. He enjoyed caring for animals, fishing, gardening, building computers, and tinkering on cuckoo clocks. He was a Jack of all trades, that let his talents shine while remodeling the two houses they lived in. He also offered his help to those he knew were in need. He is deeply missed by so many.
