He was born in Punxsutawney, PA, home of the famous Punxsy Phil groundhog, on March 28, 1923, to the late Joseph and Rhoda (Stuart) Lanzendorfer. He graduated from Punxsutawney High School in 1941 and moved to Philadelphia to find employment. He worked as a machinist at Sun Ship, Chester, PA. He later moved to Feasterville, PA, to raise his family and obtained employment over the years at American Meter, Thiokol Corporation and Pennwalt Corporation, where he retired in 1988. In 1961, while living in Feasterville, he became an active member of the Feasterville Fire Company. During his time with the fire company he served in the capacity of trustee, secretary, president and assistant fire chief. In earlier years his home was used as a call center for dispatching the fire equipment. In 2013 the fire company dedicated a fire truck in his honor, and he proudly rode in the 4th of July parades in that truck. He also served one year as the grand marshal of the annual 4th of July parade in Feasterville. In 1998 Joe was the recipient of the volunteer of the year award by Lower Southampton Township. At the time of his death Joe was the oldest life member of the fire company. As a member of the fire company said, "Rest easy, Joe. We have it now. You taught us well." Joe was preceded in death by his wife Mildred in 1982 and his sister, Anna Marie Jordan, in 2018. In 1989 he married Louise Doelling. He and Louise began splitting their time between Feasterville and Inverness, FL.
