Following his time with the US Air Force he joined the American Can Company in Fairport where he worked for 43 years. After a brief retirement from the "Can", he joined the US Postal Service where he worked 9 years in Irondequoit before retiring for good in 2001. Joe enjoyed watching sports, fixing things around the house and spending time with family and friends. He treasured the moments he spent with his grandchildren and was especially proud of all of their accomplishments. His infectious smile and easiness about him earned him the unofficial title of "mayor" of Park Avenue where he could be seen throughout the neighborhood walking his favorite "grand-dog" Jake and striking up conversations with those he would meet on his way. He was loved and adored by his family and many friends and he will be greatly missed. Friends may call 4-8 Mon. at Willard H. Scott Funeral Home, 12 South Ave., Webster. Mass of Christian Burial 10:00 AM Tues. at Holy Trinity Church, 1460 Ridge Rd., Webster. Interment, Holy Trinity Cemetery. Memorials may be directed to Holy Trinity Church.
