Joe was the manager of the Goodwin Chevrolet autobody shop before happily retiring. In his free time, he and his wife, Gloria, loved traveling to many states and Canada. They traveled to pretty much any place that did not require flying. Joe was always busy working on family homes, garages and many woodworking projects in his shop. There was one special project that he was very proud of and that was the restoration of a 1900 Portland Cutter horse drawn sleigh that he and his grandson, Eric Segars, worked on together. Joe also enjoyed time spent on the golf course and was an avid bowler for 50 years. He also deeply enjoyed his time with his friends at McDonalds in Topsham, where they would all meet for coffee.
