Joe played sports from his grade school years though adult years, baseball, softball, and golf. Then he turned to enjoying his family, being our grill master, playing his guitars, boating, lake life, Indy Carb Days, and attending classic rock concerts. He was the best at classic rock music and sports trivia. Joe was the quiet guy that only spoke up when he thought we needed a confident right answer or a zinger.
