Joe received all of his sacraments at St. Anthony’s Parish including marriage to his wife Sandra of 45 years. Joe’s greatest loves were God and his family. He enjoyed sports, playing cards, camping, taking road trips with his wife, and watching his grandkids do what they loved (soccer, basketball, baseball, theater). Sundays were his favorite day of the week, always spending them with family cheering on the Seahawks, playing cards and backyard sports, fantastic food, and a good drink. Joe is loved and missed already and will be in our hearts forever. Rosary will be on Sunday, September 25th at 4:30 pm at Hennessey Funeral Home on N. Division.
