Joe and Josie were married August 10th, 1941. They had three children Ronald Joseph, Marie Joanne and John Joseph.
Josie enjoyed life. She always had a joke, a smile and a laugh for everyone. Together with Joe, they bowled, played golf, and traveled. They had a large group of friends and traveled to Mexico, Hawaii, Europe, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Italy and Germany.

Josie moved to Idaho in 2011, and lived with Marie and David.
