He was a member of 4H when he was younger and attended Manteca High School where he was a member of the FFA club, the band and the Football team. Joe was a Wild Game Farmer for 28 years. Joe loved the outdoors and often spent his time enjoying camping, canoeing and recently had gotten into kayaking. The beach was always a special place for his family where they enjoyed many bike rides at Half Moon Bay. Joe cherished spending time in his garden soaking in the sunshine or just tinkering around listening to The Blues, Rock and Roll or just about anything. Joe loved music.
