Joe loved his family and looked forward to the cookouts and fishing. He enjoyed watching football, horse racing, and NASCAR. "Pick a Number," he would say to his family because he would play the lottery everyday.
When asked how he was doing, Joe's response was ALWAYS, "Never had a bad day in my life."
