rd
Birthday.
Joe was born January 19, 1927 and raised in Calumet City, IL. After graduating high school, he enlisted in the US Army, serving in Germany post war. After, he traveled the country working for the railroad for a short bit, and then attended Purdue University.
On October 27, 1951 he was united in marriage to Dolores Zick, celebrating 68 years this past year. Joe and Dolores first resided in Calumet City, IL and later moved to South Holland, IL. Joe was employed as an engineer for Atlantic Richfield.
In 1997, tired of the busy south suburbs of Chicago, and enjoying Sheboygan County while visiting his daughter and her family, Joe and Dolores made the move to Sheboygan Falls.
Joe loved working in his woodshop, being in the outdoors, spending time in UP Michigan at his father-in-law’s farm, swimming the lakes when younger, going to the Sports Core and golfing.
He is survived by his wife, Dolores; five daughters, Pat (Pete) Condy, Doreen (Curt) Moody, Terri (Ed) Rogers, Elaine Daly, and Jean (special friend, Ron) Bowen; one son, Ken Shuton; eleven grandchildren, Sherry (John) Matuschka, Chris (Chad) Radloff, Amy (special friend Dave) Condy, Aaron (special friend Cassie) Condy, Eric (Sarika) Moody, Bryan (Sarah) Rogers, Katie Heller, Marty (Lauren) Daly, Christine (Christopher) Davis, James Bowen, and John Bowen; five great-grandchildren, Alexis, Kennedy, Owen, Graham, and Rowen; and other extended family members.
Joe is preceded in death by his parents, siblings, in-laws and his dear son-in-law, Jack Daly.
The family would like to thank the staffs of Pine Haven Christian Home and Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice for their compassionate care.
