In 1970, they moved to Lethbridge where he made his living as an electrician. He worked at Parson’s Electric, Dorren Electric, and the University of Lethbridge for 30 years, prior to retiring. Joe was a “Jack of all Trades” and could fix anything he put his mind to. He loved tinkering with old cars, especially Studebakers. Joe was a devoted family man and was very involved with his children in their various activities as they were growing up. Joe also enjoyed going for breakfasts, lunches and having coffee with his good friends. He will be dearly missed by all those that knew him. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
