Joe was preceded in death by his close friend of 46 years Joseph Jackson. He was a tremendous supporter of all the arts organizations in our community.

He always had a smile and when he talked with you he made you feel good .

Joe is survived by a host of cousins.
The family will have a private graveside service.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the family will have a celebration of life service at a later date.
