He often said that he felt lucky to have grown up in the best possible time, in the best possible place. Joe loved his early life on the farm and loved to tell stories about it, from the quiet pleasure of milking cows at dawn with his dad and brothers to cultivating a field in the early evening. His memory of those years was legendary – he could tell you the price of oats in the 50s, what he received for the lamb he raised as a kid and how all the machinery on the farm worked. He treated his family to countless stories over the years and painted a vivid picture of post-World War II life in rural Iowa. He married his high school sweetheart in 1956, and in 1961 Joe and Annette and kids Kathy and Jerry moved to the San Fernando Valley in southern California, a growing suburb sprinkled with dairies, strawberry fields, and ranch style houses. They loved life in sunny California and enjoyed square dancing and going to clubs to hear some of the big singers of the day. Joe spent many years working on big construction projects that brought water to the growing Los Angeles basin, then went to work for the City of Los Angeles and finished his career there as a mechanic. In 2000, Joe and Annette decided to retire early and move to a newly built home in Sunland Springs Village in Mesa, Arizona. They proceeded to make the most of retirement, making wonderful new friends, traveling, doing service work at the Navajo Nation, and spending lots of time with their grandchildren, who were their pride and joy. They were well known soccer fans in both Gilbert and San Francisco. Joe loved golf and was often on the green at dawn with his friends. Joe and Annette helped start a new Lutheran Church in their neighborhood, Spirit of Hope, and Joe was deeply engaged there until his last days. He built most of the furnishings in the new church, including the altar, and small hope chests for children being baptized. His care and skill as a carpenter left a legacy that will endure for many years at Spirit of Hope. After losing Annette in 2012, Joe carried on but never stopped missing the love of his life. He passed away peacefully after a brief last illness with family at his side, surrounded by love and prayer. Joe was preceded in death by his wife Annette, his brother Oscar, his parents and many other relatives and friends. He is survived by his brother Lawrence and sisters Mary and Marcia, by his daughter Kathleen (Brian), son Jerry (Suzanne), and grandchildren Josh (Kristin), Phoebe, Hope and Fiona, by nephews and nieces, and many dear friends. A Celebration of Life will be held at Spirit of Hope Lutheran Church at 2605 South Signal Butte Road, Mesa, Arizona on Thursday, September 12, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. There will be a reception on Saturday, September 14, 2019 at Pedrick’s Funeral Home, 14006 Highway 98, Douds, Iowa with a graveside service following at Leando Cemetery at approximately 11:15 a.m.
