Joe was a good man, son, brother and friend. He never met a stranger and enjoyed talking to everyone he came across. In 1969 he graduated from Cherokee High School.

He especially liked bar-be-que. Joe was an old movie buff and an ardent fan of TCM. Joe loved to make people laugh. His sense of humor was immeasurable.
