Joe loved life. Growing up, he loved snow skiing and roller skating in his home state of Maine. As an adult, he loved riding his Harley trike and was a member of HOG (Harley Owners Group) as well as the local chapter. He was also a member of the Patriot Guard Riders. He loved being outdoors, including trips to the Gulf, maintaining the yard, fishing, and many other outdoor projects. He loved working with wood and built large storage sheds and garages, outdoor decks, and indoor furniture. It was not unusual for him to have several projects going on at the same time.
