This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Joseph Loe, 76, born on January 28th, 1940 and passed away on April 8th, 2016.
Joseph Loe was an honored veteran of the United States Navy and a Midshipman of the United States Naval Academy. He served aboard Aircraft Carriers for 10 years and during the Vietnam War.
He held a Masters Degree in Computer Science from the California State University at Chico. He enjoyed a long career as a computer programmer.
His favorite pastime was riding his Harley with family and friends and every ride was like his last. Joe enjoyed music, mostly country, the Beatles, and Bob Seger. He played many instruments and being very musical, he loved to sing and often broke out into song. Playing the guitar while singing was yet another favorite thing of his next to telling jokes. He liked making people laugh and he loved living. Favorite song: “That old time rock and roll” and a huge fan of Jessi Colter.
These are all things Joe was proud of and there are so many things we can share about Joe’s life although one thing especially comes to mind… He was an amazing soul who shared as much as he could about the experience of living with everyone possible. I like to say, “He lived OUT LOUD and he stood PROUD no matter what!”
His second wife, Paula McLemore, preceded him in death, 2001.
Joseph Loe is survived by his son Edward and his daughters Angela and Thai; grandchildren: Elizabeth, Amanda and Eden; sisters: Linda and Julie; niece: Joyce and nephews: Sean, Curtis and Erik.
