Joseph ‘Joe’ Street

Joe was born in Rockford, Ill., on May 10, 1940, and passed away Monday, Jan. 27, from cancer. He graduated from Tech High School in 1958 and attended Drake University. Joe proudly served his country in the U.S. Army from 1959-1962. He spent his working life in printing and graphic arts. He retired as a plant manager from the Vernon Company in 1998.

Joe is survived by Terry, his wife of 54 years, of Monroe. Other family members include his son T.J.(Judy) Street of Newton, his daughter Wendy Street (Alan Rowland) of Pella, his grandson Michael (Nicole) Street of Monroe, his granddaughter Rachel Street of Pella, and his two sisters Lorna Bambrook of Urbandale and Marcia (Ron) Adair of West Des Moines. He was preceded in death by his two brothers John (Butch) and Max.

Joe loved working in his garden, walking his dog, and watching Iowa Hawkeyes basketball. He will be remembered by all who know him as a man who enjoyed a good joke, good food (well actually any food), and all kinds of ice cream. He was a loyal friend, a wonderful neighbor, a faithful husband, and a loving father and grandfather.

In keeping with Joe’s wishes, he has been cremated and there will be no service, just good memories. Memorial donations may be sent to PO Box 518, Monroe, to later be distributed to Joe’s favorite charities. The family requests no flowers be sent. ~ The Newton (IA) Daily News.
