He was a member of the St. Vincent DePaul Society and a longtime usher at the Holy Family Church. Joe devoted countless hours to these organizations and possessed a strong work ethic. Joe was glad to assist friends and family whenever needed. He touched so many lives in a positive manner and truly made a difference.
Family and friends may call Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Home, Poland Chapel, where a Knights of Columbus Rosary will be recited at 6:45 p.m.
Joe will be greatly missed, but is in heaven with Jesus for all eternity. Well done good and faithful servant! He was so much more than what is written here.
