Joe met Connie Lee Hagood while she was living in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and he was working at Con Drug. Connie stopped into the pharmacy to pick up a prescription and had given an envelope with her name on it to the cashier. It had been thrown away and Joe dug the envelope out of the trash and started working on finding Connie. He found her and a relationship ensued. Joe and Connie were married on February 9, 1968, at Queen of Apostles Parish in Council Bluffs, Iowa. To this union four sons were born: Todd, Mark, Troy, and Matthew. The family had a set dinner time and Joe taught the boys the value of work ethic. Joe was proud to be a small town Pharmacist owning Lehan Pharmacy in Minden, Iowa. After forty years, he retired on May 23, 2008, selling the pharmacy. Joe was proud to give non-stop to the Minden Community.
