Joe was the second of three children born to Fred and Jennie (Wakeman) Bamberg on the family farm in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. He attended Big 4 School all 12 years and was active in sports and 4-H activities in addition to working on the family farm. After graduation, he continued working on the family farm until joining the US Army where he served in the 45th Infantry Division and after his military service he returned to work on the farm.
Joe married the love of his life, Hellen Unruh, on August 7, 1960 and they raised four children together in Covington, Oklahoma. He continued to farm family land for many years, often accompanied and assisted by his sons until they moved away from home. In later years he also worked for the Johnston Seed Company and the Covington Livestock Auction. After retiring from farming he continued to work his other jobs until he was no longer able to. Joe enjoyed going to the Senior Center and local restaurants to visit with friends and community members as well as enjoy a cup of coffee or a meal, especially after the death of his wife.
When not busy farming, Joe enjoyed the outdoors and especially loved to fish and hunt. He was also an avid sports fan, with baseball being his favorite.
Joe was survived by two of his sons, daughters-in-law, several grandchildren, his brother and sister, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, and many friends who will all miss him greatly.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Hellen, his son John, his daughter Mary and extended family members.
A full obituary was published by the Henninger-Hinson Funeral Home and in the Enid News.
