Afterwards, he was employed with King Soopers from 1961 to 1994. He spent most of those years in Store Manager and District Manager positions. Joe made many lifelong friends over the years with the staff at Kings. Joe met Bev in May of 1958 on the dance floor of a club in Colorado Springs, and boy oh boy, could they dance! They married February 7, 1959 and they just celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary! Joe was a longtime member of Divine Redeemer Catholic Church where he volunteered often over the years, as well as volunteering at the Sons and Daughters of Italy.Joe was also a longtime member of the Colorado Springs Country Club, and a current member of Garden of the Gods Club, where he enjoyed many rounds of golf through the years, swimming with the grandkids, and time with dear friends over a glass of wine at happy hour.

Joe and Bev have countless great memories from their extensive list of travels - Hawaii was a favorite annual trip! Services will be held at a later date given the current circumstances and restrictions. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions in Joe's memory be made to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado.In life, we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.
