He worked at McLaughlin Body Co. for 30 years as a manufacturing engineer. He was grateful for the many friends he met during his career. The Davenport Fraternal Order of Eagles was a large part of Joe’s life. Joe made many lifelong friends there and was very proud to be "AN EAGLE"; he served many rolls including Past Worthy President.  The Eagles Club was also where he met his bride, Chris. Joe's proudest moment was when his son, Joshua, became a member of the Eagles making it 3 Wisong generations of Eagles.
