His advice would begin with, "it's like this…”

Joe is remembered for his love of Nascar. He attended races at Daytona, FL with family. Christmas spent with family was a favorite time of year for Joe. He also enjoyed watching the Phillies.   Joe loved spending time with his Siberian Husky, Martin. He found comfort in rescuing his huskies, he had several over the years.
