Joe was my grandfather, one anecdote I have always loved although I might be slightly misquoting him went something like this:

 

“When I was younger I really didn’t know what I wanted to do with myself…luckily, they put  a war on and I learned to fly.”

 

He went on to become an airline pilot and made a career of teaching others how to fly.

 

Thanks,
