Joe was most likely to be found on a tractor or drinking coffee. He was happiest surrounded by family. He loved taking his great grandkids for rides on the tractor. He was the prime example of a Godly man. He was known highly to the people in his community for his large gardens he planted every year that he shared with everyone in the community. His favorite thing was being a PawPaw.
