He was a Devoted father! He was a man who always ended his conversations with "I love you" and always greeted you with “HEY” and a hug. Joe valued his solo time. He enjoyed fishing, washing his car, tending to his yard, and doing crafts in his basement. On the weekends, you would find Joe at Cowtown or Farmer’s Market. Joe believed that one of his greatest accomplishments was his two Military Tours. He cherished this Honor. In this light, Joe was SUPER proud of his grandson; Joe L. Thomas who also serves in the United States Army. Joe is preceded in death by his two beautiful sisters MaryAnn Griffin and June Anderson. Joe WILL be missed increasingly with each passing day.
