Joe was a Mechanical Engineer and was a member of Immaculate Conception Church and of the Knights of Columbus Madison-Geneva Council. He was a jack of all trades and his motto was “have duct tape-will travel” and “broken campers are us”. He tried to fix everything and was the original “hold my beer, I’m going to give this a shot”- type of guy!

He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, George Zalar; and sisters-in-law Edna and Marilyn.
