Joe moved to Racine in 1959, where he met the love of his life, Mary Pulice. They were married at St. Mary’s Church on November 12, 1960, and since have shared fifty-three beautiful years together. Joe was employed with Western Publishing for twenty-five years and later owned and operated Professional Coach Service for thirteen years.
He was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, American Legion Post #92 in Rochester, MN, Disabled American Veterans, the Racine Moose Lodge #437, and Roma Lodge. Joe will be fondly remembered for his quiet and gentle nature, and for his great love and devotion to his family.

Pulice; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
