He went on to serve in the Army from June 1967 through June 1969 as a Rifleman, where he was awarded
the National Defense Service Medal.
He had many hobbies and passions. Fishing, cruising, and Tennessee football were particularly close to his heart as he could share these with his family. His truest delight was being a Papa.

As a longtime member of AA, Joe was proud of the sobriety he had worked so hard for.
