After being honorably discharged from the Army, he made his home in California for several years, and began working as a mechanic.

Later, he worked for Cole-N-Sons Tire and Auto until retiring. Once he and Norma Jean were married, they made their home near Lebanon.
Joe had established his own personal relationship with his Lord and Savior.
When his son was young, Joe worked as a Boy Scout leader. He enjoyed collecting coins and stamps, and liked working word puzzles. He greatly enjoyed square dancing and also liked to go hunting and fishing in his spare time. His family was very important to him and he especially enjoyed his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Joe was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and know that he will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
