In addition, Joe graduated from Combat Engineering School Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, in 1967 and served six years in the U.S. Army Reserves.
He began his career with the N.H. Dept. of Public Works & Highways and after a few years moved to the private sector. For the last twenty-five years of his career, he was involved in the Project Development of Complex Civil Infrastructure projects throughout the U.S. and Ireland.
Joe enjoyed dual US/Ireland Citizenship. His Irish cousins were near and dear to his heart, and he treasured the many times spent with them. Joe especially enjoyed spending April at Long Boat Key, Fl, with children and grandchildren for the past 34 years.
