Joe was a compassionate, caring man who loved and served the Lord. As a member of Clanton Chapel United Methodist Church in Dulac, he served as a lay leader encouraging others to grow in their faith. He was quick with a smile and never met a stranger. Joe loved helping people and was a champion of the underdog. In his leisure time, he enjoyed fishing, telling tall tales, and was always ready with a good joke. His laughter was infectious. Joe was a loving brother, uncle and friend who will be sorely missed by all who loved him.
