Joe was a career military man, who served his country in the Army for 27 years.  He held the rank of Sargent 1 ^st Class - Grade E-7 at the time of his retirement.  Joe was a proud Veteran of Vietnam, where he received many metals, badges, ribbons and citation's for his service over the years  including; 3 Bronze Stars, Vietnam Cross of Gallantry and a Purple Heart just to list a few.  After his military service Joe operated several area service stations, which he enjoyed very much.  His memberships included; the Lawson and Richmond V. F. W's and the Richmond American Legion.  Joe enjoyed snagging trips to the Lake of the Ozarks and loved family get- together, but not the preparation beforehand, but once everyone was there he always had a great time.

The family suggests memorials be made to the Lawson or Richmond V.F.W. or the Richmond American Legion.
