He was a member of the American Legion Post 200, Spalding School Bus Assoc., Annual Bishop’s Dinner committee, and the Farmers’ Co-op Oil Board.

Left to cherish Joe’s memory are his wife of 55 years, Liz; nine children, Anne (Dean) Torgerson, Mary Hunt, Judy Kellen, Joni Kellen (Keith Lamfers), Neal (Tammy) Kellen, Karl (Missy) Kellen, Tony (Gina) Kellen, Cari Kellen, and Rick (Gwen) Kellen; 28 grandchildren; one great-grandchild; four brothers, Lou (Jean) Kellen, Red (Ann) Kellen, Jerry (Perry) Kellen, and Arnie (Peggy) Kellen; in-laws, Melvin Ruba, Sandy Kellen, Leonard Neitzel, and Eva Neitzel; and many other family members and friends.
