Joe loved to travel. He and Kathy travelled the world together. Going from places like China, Germany, Italy, Spain, all the way to one of his favorite places they visited, Zimbabwe, Africa. He loved going to the beach. One of Joe's favorite past times was swimming. Joe proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He was a proud United States Postal Service worker for many years. He became a Physical Security Specialist there and later became the Postmaster in Plymouth, MI. Joe was a proud member of the VFW, the American Legion, the Lions Club, and the Republican Party. When asked what made him smile, Joe's answer was travelling, the beach, rainbows, and most importantly his family. Joe loved his family and being able to spend time with them to make lasting memories.
