His favorite hobby was playing golf, and in his youth, he caddied at golf courses so he could earn enough money to play another round of golf.

He hired on with Abbott Laboratories, where he met his future wife, Carol Joyce Olson. They were married on December 17, 1955, at Mother of God Church. He worked in Employee Relations and retired after 39 years of service. He taught Carol how to play golf, and they spent many years playing together and winning tournaments. They traveled to Florida for many winters after retirement. He was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Carol Glogovsky; his 2 sons, Joseph Jr. (Holly) and David (Ruby); 4 grandchildren, Scott, Shawn, David Jr., Delia; and 1 great-grandson, Caleb; and all of the nieces and nephews from his sisters and brothers.
