Joe was a lifetime farmer and owned his own landscaping business for 45 years. He touched many hearts and made countless lifelong friends and fans through his many years of growing and roasting chili. He looked forward to the fall harvest of chili and roasting. He especially looked forward to the tradition created by families during their annual visit to The Great Pumpkin Patch to share memories and good times with him. Joe enjoyed spending time with his family. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, enjoyed cruising the countryside in his truck, and watching boxing, and MMA fighting. He is now reunited with his longtime budy, John Dagnillo, who has been saving a fishing spot for him. Viewing will be 4:00pm to 6:00pm, Mon May 16, 2016 followed by Rosary at 6:00pm.
