Joe had a great love for horses. He trained and worked with them throughout his life. This same passion trickled down to his granddaughter, Kass, whom they shared many experiences together doing what they loved. Joe will be remembered as a kind and loving man that loves his family. He will be sadly missed by all who loved him.

The family would like to especially thank Melissa Gauthier for the love and care given.
