He had 12 grandchildren, Lydia Meredith (Michael), Alex Priar (Larissa), Ben Wright, Warren Wright, John Thomas Priar, Genarose Jones, Mallary Bailey, Carly Ceballos, Andrew Bailey, Lucas Bailey, Jay Bailey, Everett Jones and, one great-grandchild on the way.

He was born on February 4, 1946 in Owensboro, Kentucky to Henry and Helen Galloway. In his early years Joe helped his father repair cars at the family business, Henry's Automotive.
