On a warm day you could find Joe sitting in his garage listening to Willie Nelson drinking a Pabst Blue Ribbon waving to everyone as they went by. He enjoyed having all the family around, but we all knew it was time to go when he would tap his watch. His love of travel continued as he aged, always looking forward to his yearly road trips to Arizona.
