Joe was a 1969 graduate of Marcellus High School and went on to work in the trucking industry as a truck driver 39 years  (1970-2009) for P&C foods. He enjoyed meeting and visiting with fellow truck drivers and friends at truck stops and P&C stores. Throughout his career he received many awards and enjoyed participating in truck rodeos. Joe had many loves in his life but the one that was a constant was a love of cars.  A classic car enthusiast Joe could always be found tinkering on one of his multiple classic cars.  Driving his  cars to local car shows was a past time Joe also enjoyed.  Joe loved to sit and visit, with a twinkle in his eye he shared some of his great sense of humor and a story or two.  Joe also held a lifelong interest in American Military History.  After retiring Joe became a snow bird and spent winters in South Daytona with his brother Lou and a large group of friends. 

As per Joe’s request there will be no services.
