Joseph proudly served in the United States Air Force for 25 years, retiring in July 1976, with the distinguished rank of E-9 Chief Master Sergeant. During his military career, he served in both the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War. His commitment to his country was unwavering, and he carried great pride in his service.

Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet “Pop” personally but I’ve had the privilege to know and love many of his family members. I understand how much his presence in their lives meant to them and what a wonderful influence he has been throughout the years.
My heart goes out to all of those who loved him and will miss his earthly presence. Love and prayers for all of you.

Pop was one of the best. There isn’t much more to say. The world is a lesser place without Pop in it. Much love to the whole family.

To my honorary Pop. I’ll always cherish our conversations about your military travels, politics, and current events. I loved hearing your perspective on everything. I’ll always remeber how dedicated you were as a great grandfather to my babies. I’m a better human because I had the privilege of knowing you. I’ll miss you immensely, but find peace that you have found peace. I love you forever.
