After being discharged from the Navy, they started a life together in Chesterton, IN. Joe worked in a steel mill to support the family. They had four boys and quickly began their busy lives. Nancy’s faith prompted Joe to examine his beliefs and he ultimately became a Lutheran. It wasn’t long before Joe’s faith led him to become a Pastor.
