He retired in 1980 from Western-Southern Life Insurance Co., Hermitage, where he was an agent for 29 years.
Throughout his life Joe kept active with many different endeavors. He coached the FNB baseball team in the Farrell Little League; was an avid gardener; and enjoyed golfing. Joe was a staunch supporter of Farrell High School sports, particularly basketball and football, and was a fan of the Cleveland Indians and Browns. Many people in his neighborhood will remember him as a bicycle enthusiast. He rode his bicycle daily for many years and it was not uncommon for him to pedal 30 miles a day. Joe was also a volunteer for many years with Special Olympics PA and was a recipient of its Unsung Hero Award. He was a former member of the German Home in Farrell.
