(Teresa), sixteen grandchildren, five great grandchildren and sister Alice Brackhahn (Tom) and nieces and nephews.
Joe married the love of his life, Judy Blossom, on November 17, 1962. He was a loving husband and father and was devoted to his family. He led an active life and was profoundly proud of his children. Joe loved his time on the farm as a young man, playing and working at the golf course, time spent with his friends and Mizzou sports. But he loved nothing more than being with his family. He will be dearly missed.
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to the Kansas City Hospice House or the American Cancer Society, in memory of Joe Montgomery.
