In 1991, he and his wife, Carol. moved to Phoenix where he served as National, and later Local, Sales Manager at KTVK, 3-TV. Joe retired in 2005 and, several years later, started a national TV support business with his wife, which they sold in 2011. Joe enjoyed gardening, golf, jazz, exercising – he even ran the New York City Marathon with his best friend, Billy Nowell (Lafayette, CO). He is survived by his beloved wife of close to 58 years, Carol-Ann Canty, son Greg (Colorado Springs, CO), daughter Jeanine (Boulder, CO), four grandchildren: Dallas, Chalen, Jared, and Luke, a host of nephews and nieces, and his beloved sisters and brothers.
