Together they enjoyed 52 years of marriage and happily raised 10 children while farming, on the family farm, one mile south of St. John. Together with Helen, Joe enjoyed lending his voice to the St. John choir, square danced with the Squares & Spares, and volunteered time at the New Holstein Salvatorian Center. Joseph was a life member of St. John the Baptist Church, St. John Holy Name Men, Catholic Knights Branch 148 and Knights of Columbus.
