Joe worked in auto collision repairs until September 1966, at which time he was severely injured at Carter Motors and was unable to work again.

Here he spent hours out in the yard, fixing something or tending to his plants. He also grew the best tomatoes. Joe was a season ticket holder to the Blue Bomber games before the accident, and remained a loyal fan, who rarely missed listening or watching a football game. He also enjoyed hockey and wrestling.
