Joe was born in Capo d’Orlando, Sicily.  He came to Winnipeg in 1951.  Convincing Santina to join him in 1955 at which time they married.  Together they built a life in Canada and raised their five children.

Joe was a cement finisher by trade.  But was an all around handyman.  Having renovated his own homes.  Joe built his own house and was always there to help others.
