Joe served his country in Vietnam from 1969-1970. He worked as a land surveyor for many years. He enjoyed hunting, horses, motorcycle riding, training hunting dogs, and target practice with his brother Carl. He loved farming and helped on his parents' farm all of his life. In retirement, he took over the farm raising beef cattle. He enjoyed farming with his buddy Don as they planted, harvested, fixed farm equipment, and took coffee breaks. He had many veteran and farming friends and was always up for coffee and chitchat with friends and family. Joe had a big heart and enjoyed giving to anyone. The family wishes to express their thanks to Kindred Hospice.
