Joe started his career with Digby Salvage & Disposal and was also a member of the Barton Volunteer Fire Dept. Joe went on to attend Holland College and became a Paramedic for many years. He was very good at his job and took pride in his work. Joe helped a lot of people along the way. Joe was also known as the life of the party the funny guy anything for a laugh kinda guy. He could walk up to any stranger sit right down have a conversation and talk the ear right off them. When he was gone he would always leave that feeling like you have known him all your life, he had that aura about him and a true gift to gab. As for his hobbies Joe liked to go fishing, he loved the beach and he loved Life. Joe was a good friend to all who knew him and will be missed by all but through all the laughs the jokes and the stories and behind that smile Joe suffered in silence.
