Joe served in the US Air Force and had a lengthy career as a counselor for the Connecticut Department of Corrections. His hobby of woodworking didn’t just keep Joe busy, it was a creative outlet, and he owned the former Sawdust Joe's, a decorative painting studio in the West Haven area.
Joe was a beloved son, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His life gave lasting memories as a soldier, counselor, and volunteer. In death, we will cherish you eternally.
