Joe grew up in the furniture business and founded Easy Movers, Inc. of Glyndon in 1977. He was a volunteer for Meals On Wheels for over 20 years. He served in Europe during WW II with the 63rd Infantry Division earning a Bronze Star. He derived great pleasure from the simple things in life. He was an avid reader and nature lover. He liked nothing better than singing an Irish song in his beautiful tenor. Children delighted him and brought him great joy. He enjoyed sitting on a porch reading his daily papers and watching the antics of the birds and squirrels. Joe was a deeply religious man, a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church for over 50 years. He loved spending time with his family and extended family and will be missed by many nieces, nephews, grand and great-grand nieces and nephews.
