Interesting facts about Joseph
He was a man of diverse talents and experiences. A master craftsman, he built three custom Harley-Davidsons and cherished his collection of Volkswagen vans over the years. He possessed an uncanny ability to fix anything he set his hands to, and his skills extended to the pool table, where he was a phenomenal player. His late “best friend" was his beloved German Shepherd, Keiko. His 25-year career with the United States Coast Guard, specializing in Aviation and Search and Rescue, took him around the globe, from the North and South Poles to the Berlin Wall and the Scottish Highlands. He saw the breadth of his country, too, from Sitka, Alaska, to Puerto Rico, with stops in Traverse City, Michigan, Savannah, Georgia, and Astoria, Oregon, among many others. He eventually settled on the beautiful Gulf Coast in Mobile, Alabama. While stationed in Puerto Rico, he shared a memorable evening with Jimmy Buffett, playing pool and, no doubt, enjoying a "Cheeseburger in Paradise" after servicing Buffett's personal aircraft. Through it all, his faith deepened, and he found solace and purpose in his relationship with Jesus Christ. His heart was truly in God's hands.
