In his early years, Joe served in the National Guard Reserves and was a salesman for Armour and Curtis 1000. Later, he became an entrepreneur, having established three separate successful businesses: Dairy Queen in Rock Hill, SC, Speedy Printing Center and Pointe South Golf Club, both in the Augusta area. He was known for his easy-going nature, quick wit, and generous heart.
His life was characterized by his strong work ethic, his devotion to those he loved, and his integrity. Joe's favorite places included Gatlinburg, TN, Surfside Beach, and Pawleys Island, SC, and he enjoyed playing golf. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. His greatest joy came from spending time with his family and following Lincoln County "Red Devils" football for over 30 years. He adored his four grandchildren.
