Joe was born January 23, 1960, the son of Merle R. and Ollie A. (Michaelis) Glotzbach. He was raised in the Paxico/Newbury communities and graduated from St. Marys High School with the class of ‘78. Joe graduated from Kansas State University College of Engineering with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1987.
Joe lived in Chanute for 25 years working for Churchill (Chanute), TRAMEC (Iola) and OPF (Chanute). He moved to the Maple Hill community and worked for Caterpillar from 2006 until 2015. He then worked for Goodyear Tire and Rubber from 2015 until his death. Joe was a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and Knights of Columbus Council No. 657 both in St. Marys.
On April 12, 1980, Joe and Audry A. Hiegert were united in marriage at Sacred Heart Church in Newbury.
