His loyal dog, Buddy stayed by his side until the end. Joe was a private contractor in the construction business for over 30 years where he taught and mentored many young men in the construction industry. Joe was a prankster who found joy in every single day. He worked hard and played even harder. He enjoyed exploring the outdoors through camping, hunting, fishing, driving his ATV and his jeep, boating, waterskiing, and snowmobiling - he even tried his hand at flying airplanes for a short while. Joe's family wishes to thank the many friends for their love and support. Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, April 3, 2014 014 at 2:00 PM at the Horan & McConaty located at 3101 S.
