Joseph, a beloved father, grandfather, and friend, passed away, leaving behind a legacy of love and laughter. A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, he dedicated 35 years of his professional life to Trans World Airlines (TWA), where his passion for airplanes thrived. Joseph was an active member of the Men’s Club at Lakeview Estates, where he made countless friendships and shared his humor and kindness. Known as the grandpa everyone wished for, he will be remembered for his playful spirit-whether it was indulging the grandkids with ice cream for breakfast, sharing cowboy videos, or delighting them with his collection of classic jokes. Family was everything to Joseph, and he cherished every moment spent with them. His warm heart and joyful presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved him.
The family is being served by Pitman Funeral Home, Wentzville. The family will host a celebration of life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Wentzville American Legion Post 323 or Backstoppers.
