He was a farmer and cement finisher, his entire life and anyone knew that if you wanted a good, smooth cement floor and an excellent job done to "hire Joe." He was a husband, father and grandfather who loved his family very much and was loved very much in return and will be greatly missed. He had many friends whom he was there for and likewise have been there for him. He enjoyed their visits even when he couldn't enjoy anything else. He is survived by his wife of 46 1/2 years, who he married on May 19th, 1962 Irene (Mitchell) who took care of him and loved him through thick and thin.

His father named him, Joseph Benjamin, but wouldn't tell his mother his name for a few days because he knew she wouldn't like his middle name. He loved the fairs and used to "hitch" the ponies for his Dad & brothers Jim and Bill. He enjoyed staying at the Kinross Fair with family and friends. For years he was involved in 4-H for his daughters who had steers and even two of his grand-daughters in later years.
