Joe loved the music business. He had several bands during the late 70s
to early 90s and spent a lot of time on the road entertaining. He even
recorded in Nashville, Tennessee. Joe loved “Elvis” and all sports,
especially Nebraska football and enjoyed playing golf. He spent his
last working years as a car salesman before retiring.

Joe volunteered at the Cross of Christ Lutheran Church, which he

Rest in Peace, “Bro.” We love you!
