Joe moved with his family to Loveland Colorado in 1975.

Joe dedicated his life to his work.  It did not matter whether the job was big or small, he gave it his all.  His job often required extensive travel out of state.  He was building a new Scheels Sporting Goods in Boise Idaho at the time of his death.

Joe was an avid boater, water skier and wake surfer. In 2014 he and his son Josh started Watertoyz Marine.  He spent his summers building docks and servicing the boating community as well as working for LPR at the same time.  Watertoyz assisted Larimer County Search and Rescue in recovering sunk and damaged boats.

He loved loud, fast boats and muscle cars.  He also was a dedicated power lifter.

Joe was a dedicated father to his only son Josh.  He would do almost anything to support him in his endeavors.  Joe would do anything for his family and friends including giving his shirt off of his back.

He had great love for animals in need and supported no kill shelters. In lieu of flowers, consider donations to the Weld County Humane Society. https://www.weldcountyhumane.org/
