Joe was born Feb. 11, 1927, grew up in Philadelphia, attended Penn Charter School, and did brief Navy service before Princeton. He majored in psychology, belonged to Tiger Inn, and graduated in 1948.

Joe became a partner in the family’s carpeting and wool import business; this led to much international travel. In 1973 he and his wife, Nevenka Parjkovie, and the family relocated to Santa Barbara, Calif. Both in the East and in Santa Barbara, Joe rode to hounds and in California he was a hunt field master. He was also a competitive pistol shooter and a breeder-trainer of boxer dogs. The family later moved to Oxford, Ohio.

Joe died Nov. 16, 2020, in Oxford. He is survived by Nevenka, their five sons, one daughter, and seven grandchildren.
