He enjoyed fishing, cooking and grilling, watching cooking shows, driving around in his beloved truck and giving people a hard time, especially at the Solon Care Center where he kept the staff on their toes. He was always there to help friends whether they needed a ride or just a good laugh. Joe always spoke highly of his daughter, Marie, whom he loved very much.
