An A&M graduate working in the electrical engineering field for many years, he spent much of his professional life in the Oil and Gas industry in the Dallas area. Joe enjoyed being outdoors more than anything. He spent much of his retirement years working in the yard, traveling with Terri and fishing. He had a great interest in planes and had a private pilot's license. He loved to work with his hands and rebuilt an old tractor to mint condition. There wasn't a project around the house that he couldn't do. Joe was known for his laugh and great sense of humor, love and pride for his family and steadfast loyalty to friends whom he had for decades. He passed away into the loving arms of the Lord on the first day of spring March 20th, 2021. He was at home with Terri by his side where he always wanted to be.
