Joe graduated from Valley High School in Las Vegas in 1983. He attended UNLV eventually earning an associates degree after changing majors several times. He had enough credits for more than 1 bachelor’s degree, however not all in the same field.

Joe was well known for his love of family and everything related. He was often seen tossing the football with his children and all those in the neighborhood.  Joe enjoyed cooking and especially making Italian recipes of all kinds. Joe was a very kind, compassionate person who numerous times stopped to help a stranger in need without being asked.  He had an infectious laugh that would light up his whole face and make everyone around him join in.
