Joe lived life fearlessly & passionately with a candid honesty that touched any & all who met him. Joe had many passions & did everything his own way. He developed his love for his first passion, NASCAR, after going to his first race with his dad at the age of 3. His passion for skydiving developed over most of his life. He was an experienced skydiver with more than 6600 jumps all over the world. He was admired & respected by his skydiving family for his intense focus on safety & for his genuine passion for mentoring old & new friends alike, in his own unique way.

Joe was an amazing man, ever a friend to those in need & a hard working American.  Joe touched so many people and will always be remembered for his good nature, helping spirit & will live on in all of our hearts.  May we all find such passion in our lives. Blue skies Joe.
