He graduated from the medical school at the University of Kentucky in 1967 and went on to specialize in radiology. He served in the U.S. Army for 9 years, acting as Chief of Radiology for 3 years at Fort Benning Hospital in Columbus, Georgia.  Following his military service he practiced radiology in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Fort Myers, Florida and Wadesboro, North Carolina.

Joe enjoyed fishing, golf, and watching his beloved Kentucky Wildcats play basketball. He also loved animals, especially his dogs Poppy and Reagan. His sense of humor, warmth and kindness will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
