Joseph enjoyed fishing, small game hunting, riding his motorcycle, drag racing at Kil-Kare Speedway & Drag Strip with his family and friends, and on occasion he enjoyed a good cold beer.

Joseph was a kind and giving person. He would help anyone in need even if it meant giving them the shirt off his back. Besides spending time with his family and friends, his greatest enjoyment was spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. To them he was their “pepaw.” Some of his final words to his daughter: “It wasn’t the end, it’s a beginning of a life well lived.”
