Joe served in the U.S. Army. He retired from Chrysler, where he worked in management for many years. He spent much of his time enjoying Michigan’s great outdoors and had a passion for boating, fishing and the water. He liked reading the newspaper, Detroit Tiger baseball, and watching sports in general. He was an avid pool and card player and loved spending time with his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by daughter, Carrie Hearl; siblings, James (Gloria), Michael, Elizabeth, Ginny, and Patricia (Joe); niece, Julie; brother-in-law, Wayne; and favorite canine companion, Abby.
