Please join us to celebrate Joe's life and give back to our community!

About Joe

Joe was a devoted husband, father, engineer, and mentor. His work in civil engineering and transportation safety mad a lasting impact on Southwest Missouri, from pioneering the divergent diamond interchange in Springfield to advocating for roadway safety and intelligent transportation systems. Beyond his career, he was a pillar of love and support for his family, always encouraging his children and their peers to chase their dreams.

As a wish dad, Joe experienced firsthand the incredible impact of Make-A-Wish, an organization that gave his family the gift of hope during difficult times. To continue his legacy of giving, we invite you to celebrate his life by helping grant wishes to children in our community.

We have partnered with the Wish Society to give the gift of hope to SWMO kids on the waiting list for Make-A-Wish.
