Throughout his business career, Joe was known by many people simply as "Andy". He truly enjoyed his work and the many friends and associates he came across in his time at Anderson Glass. He was also happy to spend time with his brothers Raymond, Paul and Frank, and was especially happy to have a place that his brother Albert Roy could come to work and feel a part of the business.

After retirement, Joe enjoyed time in Florida during winters with Millie, and watching his family grow with grandchildren and great grandchildren.
