During the early morning hours of August 14, 2020, Joe lost his courageous fight with addiction. His friends and family will remember him for his big heart, bright smile, intelligence, wonderful sense of humor, quick wit, love of heavy metal music and most of all his love for his children and grandchildren.

Joe loved watching all sports with his Dad, friends and children. He attended many heavy metal concerts with his son, Joe, and friends. Joe was an artist which included body art (tattoos). His daughter, Samantha, and he recently received tattoos together. He was a big goof ball that loved making silly faces and playing with his grandchildren, Bella, Jace and Mason. He had a big heart always remembering his family on birthdays and holidays.
