He attended Montana State University-Northern, receiving his bachelor’s degree in diesel mechanics, prior to marrying Cathy Tilleman in 1982. The couple’s union was blessed with two children, and they relocated to Everett, Wash., where Joe worked as a mechanic at Community Transit.

Joe enjoyed being outdoors, especially hiking, snowmobiling, and four-wheeling. He loved to build the “Joe Hulett fires” when he camped, and he really loved singing around the campfire. He was a very loving man, a hard worker, and family oriented.  Joe was also very generous, and a wonderful husband, dad  and a fabulous grandpa.  He was a kid at heart.
