Joe worked as a dairy herdsman over the years on numerous farms in the area. He could fix any piece of farm machinery. His final job was with Fenwick Farms in Reisterstown, MD. Pap was known to be seen driving around town up until he was the age of 92. He would always be seen at his late sonâs catering jobs as well as his grandsonâs concrete site. He would also drive to visit family and friends from time to time never getting out of the car. But when NASCAR was on you could find him routing for his favorite driver Rusty Wallace, or watching rerun of old westerns. Papâs final years were spent at SpiriTrust where he secretly loved the attention from the nurses and staff. He will be missed.
Pap was the father to Amos Ferguson and deceased son Jeff. He has many grandchildren and many great grandchildren who he loved to see. Joe and Charlotte were parents to many who needed a soft place to land, and a place to grow. They were kind soles who never said NO.
