He leaves behind the love of his life of 25 years, Brandy Goodwin. They would have celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on July 22nd. He leaves behind his pride and joy, his daughters, Laura and Lexi Goodwin; as well as his parents Ron and Lynda Goodwin; in-laws David and Donna MacWilliams, Pete and Sue Spescha, and all their families; sister and brother-in-law Jennifer and Don Harmon, brother-in-law Nathan MacWilliams; niece Kate (Brandon) Salvato, nephews Kyle and Keaton Harmon, great-nephew Matthew Salvato; close aunts and uncles Carol & Archie Tripp, Michael & Corinna Goodwin and Lynn & Mike Gurney, and many, many more aunts, uncles and cousins.

Joe worked for New England Life Care in Portland for almost 9 years as an Operations Coordinator. Joe worked as an Electrician Helper for Taplin Electric in Gray and J.P. Williams in Portland. He also worked for Circuit City STS and Bell Tech Logix.
He loved going for motorcycle rides, hunting, fishing, boating, snowmobiling, tinkering with toys, working on computers, listening to music, gardening, and helping others. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family and scanning all the family photos into a database. Joe will be forever missed by his hunting buddies, his father Ron, uncle Mike, cousin Jeremy; Donny, Teddy and Don Malonson.
Joe was the computer guru of the family, along with all the expertise in electrical and low voltage wiring. At the drop of a hat, he was there any time day or night to help his family and friends. He will be missed by all, but especially his close friend Dyran Hanscome and family.
