Joe worked at several truck lines in the Kansas City area including Allis Chalmers, Graves, ABF and CF. he was an avid woodworker and loved to build anything from decks to furniture to old model cars. Joe chose to be cremated and his eyes were donated to help others see the world. We hope others will see through the caring and loving eyes Joe always saw through.

In lieu of flowers we are asking that donations be sent to the Palliative Care Group of Liberty Hospital, 2525 Glenn Hendren Dr., Liberty, Missouri, 64068, or brought to the Memorial Service. the family will ensure the donations are taken to the Hospital.
Joe will be immensley missed by his family and friends. He has touched the lives of so many.
Micki and Robin, we will miss your dad. He was a sweet man, and his love for you both was so obvious. He was also such a loving grandpa. Bless you all. Love, Gene & Vel
