It is with great difficulty that I share the news of my father, Joe's, passing. As the founder of Joe's Auto Body Tractor, he left a lasting impact. For those who knew him, his love for tractors was evident in our conversations. We will be celebrating his life and legacy on June 13th, honoring his memory as he would have wanted, surrounded by tractors. The celebration will be held at Altona in New Holstien from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, where we will share stories and memories of him. His legacy will continue as we continue restorations at Joe’s Auto Body Tractor, a testament to his enduring passion.
