Joe touched so many lives in his life, he was a loving father, brother, son, grandfather, uncle, partner and friend. He was always there willing to lend a helping hand or ear if you needed to talk. He worked very hard every day. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing and spending as much time with his family. In his younger years he enjoyed bull riding, riding bareback and even filled in as the clown as a bull fighter during the rodeo. As he got older, he mentored many young bull riders. He was known as a great man for his loving big heart and his honesty. He will be missed by many. Life will never be the same without him. He was the rock of his family. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. To
