Joe worked as a plumber at a few different shops in Regina for almost 40 years and ended his plumbing career at the Pasqua Hospital Maintenance Dept. in 2002. His most enjoyable job was working for Regina Exhibition Association Ltd (REAL), it was perfect for him because he loved talking to people and worked with co-workers who became great friends.
