Joseph R. “Joe” Wallace of Keene, NH died peacefully on February 12, 2020 at the Westwood Health Care and Rehabilitation Center in Keene, NH. He was born in Bellows Falls, VT on June 9, 1969, the son of Gary and Priscilla (Carlisle) Wallace.
Joe grew up in the Newport, NH area and came to Keene in 1986. He attended Keene High School and graduated in 1989. While in high school, Joe was a member of the Keene High School Hockey Team, was a member of the yearbook staff, and he enjoyed attending wrestling matches.
In his free time, he loved fishing, riding his bicycle, paddling his kayak and attending Swamp Bats Games, and traveling. He enjoyed the story of Huckleberry Finn as he felt he was like Huckleberry in many ways. He was a NASCAR fan and collected racing cars. One of the highlights in Joe’s life was being able to ride in an official NASCAR car at the Richard Petty Experience at Walt Disney World.
Joe wanted to win some money so he could take his mom on a “Nice Trip” and to pay off her car. He wanted to buy a house by the water in Marlow so he and his mom could fish. He wanted to meet “Dog the Bounty Hunter” and always wanted to have a companion to go to the movies and out to dinner. He was looking forward to going to the Keene YMCA and skating at the ice rink but needed a few modifications to his skates and he talked about taking a trip to Hawaii.
Joe was well-known in the community and was active in many organizations. He was very active with the New Hampshire Special Olympics and the Penguin Plunge program. He volunteered at the Keene Community Kitchen, the Meals on Wheels Program, the Special Education Program at Keene State College and the Salvation Army. He was employed by Hannaford’s in Keene for a short time.
He is survived by his mother and stepfather, Priscilla and David Jones of Newport, NH and his father and stepmother, Gary and Dottie Wallace of Bellows Falls, VT; his sister, Michelle W. Leavitt and husband Marc of Hopkinton, NH; a nephew, Nathan Leavitt and wife Tori, and a niece, Sonja Leavitt; his aunt and uncle, Carolyn and Paul Szoc of Keene, NH, also an aunt, Rose Benjamin of Langdon, NH; and several cousins.
Burial will be in the Pine Crest Cemetery in Charlestown at a later date. There will be a gathering at the Italian Club in Keene.
