Joe was an educator for 50 years before retiring from Mason Consolidated Schools. He was passionate about history and bringing it alive to those he taught. Joe's other passion was sports and he coached football, baseball and wrestling, at Fostoria, Mason Consolidated and Whiteford Agricultural Schools. At Mason Consolidated, he was the editor of the newspaper and the Director of the Adult Education Program. He was an avid reader and writer, nearly completing his novel.
