He attended Union County High School prior to enlisting in the United States Navy. Joe proudly served on the USS Constitution in Boston, MA until his honorable discharge in 2012. He was most recently employed with TBK America. Joe had the kindest heart with an outlandish sense of humor. He was a phenomenal artist, lyricist, and musician.
