Soon after Joe was honoredby welcoming his namesake, his son Joe, into the world and eventually relocated his family to upstateNY where he had taken a position at Union Forging. Joe continued his career at Trayer Products, where,after 25 years of service, he reluctantly retired. Joe had a constant need to stay busy and enjoyed tinkering around the house on various projects. Hismeticulous nature often became family affairs, especially around Christmas time, which showed throughas an elaborate Christmas display throughout his yard. Joe was an avid collector of all things andparticularly enjoyed expanding his vintage decanter collection. He very much enjoyed spending his timewith family, including his beloved grandson, with treasured memories of amusement parks, hunting,fishing, racing and vacationing.
