Joe was a proud Ohio State Highway Patrolman, who later managed Lantz Mills and the bar operations at Clear Fork Ski Area. He was passionate about his support of Friendly House, where he served as Board President for many years, and loved playing cards with friends.

Joe’s wide range of interests allowed him to share time and mingle with a wide range of different people, highlighting his knack for connecting with folks from all walks of life; always humble and earnest in his care for and appreciation of others.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Ruth; brother, James; and sisters, Beverly Knopic and Patricia Frye.
