Joe was a 1974 graduate of Wilkinsburg High School and was a long-time employee of Haskel of Pittsburgh. Later in his work career, Joe became a cook and manager with Eat’n Park in Monroeville and then served as a bartender/cook at several places in Pittsburgh, most notably Murray’s Café in Swissvale. For enjoyment and relaxation, Joe loved to shoot pool and participated in several leagues and tournaments. Many of those tournaments were in Las Vegas and Joe was victorious in a number of them.  He also was known for his collection of a wide array of shot glasses that originated from near and far establishments. When not collecting shot glasses, shooting pool or cooking, Joe was delighted to wet a fishing hook and do some camping.
