Joe's knowledge in the mechanic business, anything mechanical was not limited and he continued to work in this field throughout his career. He was extremely handy, could fix about anything and was always helping someone; something he truly enjoyed. This was evident and passed down to his sons and grandchildren as well. Joe not only lead by example, but had one of the biggest hearts, never judged, always showed compassion for others and made friends anywhere he went.
