Joseph was preceded in death by his parents, Ann and Robert Vaughn.

Joe was a man of many talents. He proudly served his country. He was a volunteer firefighter and worked many years as a draftsman. He loved listening to the Dodgers’ baseball games on the radio because it was much better than watching it on TV. He enjoyed working with his plants and creating beautiful gardens. He loved being an amateur weatherman and spending evenings on the porch with his music, his wife and a good boat drink. He lived each day to the fullest and found joy in nearly everything. All who knew him will miss his infectious smile, his positivity, and his daily posts on Facebook.
