In 2010, Joe's life took a beautiful turn when he crossed paths with Amanda during a hiking expedition to the iconic Hollywood sign. Together, they built a life centered around a shared love for family and friends. Joe found solace in the company of his beloved feline companions, Polly and Bogey. They brought him comfort and warmth, sharing in the love that was such a significant part of his life.

Joe had a profound affection for his family, his parents George and Julie, and his siblings, Charlie, Sam and Tessa, held an irreplaceable place in his heart. His love extended to his niece, Zoey, and nephew, Logan, as he embraced the role of uncle with joy and enthusiasm. He was a constant source of guidance and support, bringing laughter and joy to their lives and to the lives of the children of his closest friends.
