PYRO JOE’S “RECEPTION”A Celebration of His Life Beginning at 5:00 PM

Sarpy County Fairgrounds Springfield, NE

Anyone who knew Joe knows that when he found something he loved, he went ALL IN! From his legendary fireworks shows to his countless passions and hobbies, Joe poured his heart into everything he did. Nothing brought him more joy than sharing those passions with others. If Joe was going to do something, he was going to do it BIG! His celebration of life will be no exception.

Joe requested that everyone come together for what he endearingly called “his reception.” We’re honoring his wishes and celebrating his life exactly the way he would have wanted - WITH A BANG!

Please join us for an evening of dinner, drinks, music, cherished memories, and, of course, a FIREWORKS SHOW honoring the man who spent so many years lighting up the night sky.

Whether you can attend the services or join us only for Joe’s reception, our family would be honored to have you there. Being surrounded by the family, friends, and community he loved so dearly is exactly what Joe wanted.

From his days playing in the band The Impacts and Sundae Funnies, to his years owning City Wide Rock, Sand and Gravel, to building the incredible community at Lake Olivo, Joe had an extraordinary gift for bringing people together and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Now, we have the privilege of coming together for him.
