He retired in 1994. Joe and Thelma traveled extensively after he retired, and rested between travels encamped on their beloved Xpu-Ha beach in Mexico. One of Joe's greatest joys was to always learn, he loved to read, history was a passion, but his biggest passion was people, he made friends and family everywhere he went.
