Joe was born on April 16, 1939 in Somerset, KY to Matt and Goldie Burton. He married Geneva Robinson in 1961. After moving to Cincinnati, Joe began working for H & S Gulf as a mechanic. Over the next 60 years, the couple welcomed 2 children, their spouses and 3 grandchildren into their home. His children remember him as a kind/gentle/patient/driven father who encouraged them to pursue their goals.

Joe was the proud business owner of Burtons Auto Body and loved dealing with old cars. He also had a love of both Antiques and old western toys.  He was a generous/witty/funny individual that enjoyed spending time with his family.

A private funeral is scheduled for immediate family only. The family would like to thank Florentine Garden's for their expert care.
