Joe was an outdoorsman and thoroughly enjoyed hunting and fishing. He loved training his beagle hunting dogs and once proclaimed his favorite holiday was deer season. He would often be seen riding a side by side with the beagles in tow. His newest beagle puppies George and Molly were his best buddies and on their way to becoming great hunting companions. He also had a love of music and loved a good jam session with friends and family.
He treasured time spent with his grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and other family. He also loved spending time with his special nephew Justin White.
