A true old school Teamster. Hard work was in his bones. Setting an example to his children and grandchildren.

Above his accomplishments, his greatest were his grandkids. Papa Joe is known for his kind and happy demeanor, from his chalk drawings in the driveway to 4-wheeler rides through the tree patch and quirky snacks. He will be missed by all that had the pleasure to know him.
