In the early 70's he moved to Honolulu, HI, where he worked as manager for the Outrigger Hotel Chain and eventually opened his own business in the travel industry.
He met his wife Christie, in Honolulu, married, then settled there in 1979. They eventually purchased a home in Maunaloa where Joe enjoyed cooking, gardening, and the beach. Together with his wife he did extensive traveling and was an active volunteer with Special Olympics Hawaii. He was also a member of Rotary in Albany, NY and an active member of the Lions Club in Molokai, HI. Later they purchased a home in Daytona Beach and traveled between Maunaloa and Daytona Beach before he finally retired. In 2009 they returned to Daytona Beach on a permanent basis.
