Joe is retired from Nanz & Kraft Florists, where he devoted 50 years then continued to happily be a part of the Nanz & Kraft community throughout his retirement. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during WWII before resuming his service as a member of the American Legion for 43 years. In his leisure time, Joe enjoyed fishing and passionately watching NASCAR. First and foremost, he was an avid fan of UK sports. “Go Big Blue!”
Joe is preceded in death by Marion Crouch and son, Donnie. Joe is survived by sons, Danny of Pawleys Island, SC and David (Marisa) of Louisville, KY; grandchildren Michele Isham (Glen Goins), Damon (Melissa) Crouch, and Duane (Anita) Crouch, as well as 5 great-grandchildren. Also surviving are his wonderful florist family and friends. In honoring Joe's wishes, a private burial will take place at the Resthaven Cemetary. Please consider a donation in Joe's memory to Hosparus of Louisville.
