Joe was born in St. Charles, Idaho in the Bear Lake Valley to Raymond Wesley Windley and Thelma May Arnell. He married Mildred Young in 1955 and passed just days before their 62nd wedding anniversary. His love for his wife and family was obvious in everything he did.
He was very proud of his service in the U.S. Army and was an infantryman in the Korean Conflict. He was a 70-year member of the I.B.E.W., a Journeyman Lineman and a construction executive. Dad believed in hard work and taught us the value of it! He took up golfing late in life and loved to play with his friends at the Alpine Country Club. Joe will be remembered for his unique sense of humor, honesty, integrity, kindness, generosity and patriotism. He was a wonderful storyteller and loved to laugh and make others laugh.
He is survived by his wife Mildred, children Keith and Lynn Goodspeed; Dennis and Stella Goodspeed; Mitch and Debby Goodspeed; Marilyn and Gordon Burt and Greg and Connie Windley and he was Grandpa Joe to 17 grandchildren, and many great and great-great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings Clea, Armond, Sheldon, Douglas, and Lavere.
