Upon returning to Canton, he worked at Jack and Dean Bedford’s and Dan Colton’s dairy farms, W.W. Gleckner’s and Sons, and The Valve Air. After a few years back home, he decided to chase his dreams of being a big game hunting guide in Idaho. He would spend hunting season in Idaho and come home in the offseason. During one offseason, he started working at Penn Troy Manufacturing. Still not quite content, he spent one last season in Idaho until he finally moved home for good and continued his career as a journeyman machinist at Penn Troy Manufacturing until his retirement. Joe had a love for the outdoors like no other. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, trapper, and a skilled horseman. Later in life, he also enjoyed homesteading, gold prospecting, chainsaw carving, and barbequing. He excelled at anything he tried. On February 20, 1993, he married Cindy Kendall.
