He was a member of St. Raphael Catholic Church in Bay Village and previously St. William Catholic Church in Euclid. Joe was a Corporate Accountant at Park Corporation, celebrating 25 years of service August 9, 2018. His work brought him joy. Joe’s most enjoyment in life was spending time with his wife Kelly, their faithful companions Jack, Louie and the late Sammy, along with his family and friends. His strong faith was an inspiration to all. Joe was passionate about golf and looked forward to each and every opportunity to play the game. He enjoyed bowling, roller coasters, and sports in general. The Baltimore Orioles and Washington Redskins were at the top of his list. June was Joe’s favorite month of year and summer his favorite season. Vacationing was something he always looked forward to as well as the holidays. Joe was a beautiful life. A life filled with faith, grace, patience, love and kindness. He will truly be missed by all.
