Joe was born on March 25, 1926, in Le Mars, Iowa, the son of Henry and Pearl (Kewley) DeYoung. He attended school in Le Mars and graduated from Le Mars High School. In 1943, at the age of 17, Joe enlisted in the US Army. He was deployed to Germany. He received an honorable discharge in 1945. Upon returning from Germany, he and Charlotte Sorgdrager were united in marriage on November 6, 1945, at the Methodist Church in Le Mars. In 1957, Joe and Charlotte, along with their eight children, traveled by train to Downey, California, where he worked for the Long Beach School District for 13 years as the foreman. He also worked at the Benson Cabinet Shop, painting and refinishing cabinets. Joe owned Joe’s Broasted Supreme in Long Beach, California, from 1965 to 1973.
