Joseph Marino

We are now able to schedule memorial services for Joe Anthony Marino that were delayed due to restrictions of the COVID Virus.\r\n\r\nJoseph Anthony Marino of Ingram, went to be with the Lord on April 27, 2020. He was born on February 6, 1941 in Houston, Texas to parents, Louis Joseph Marino and Rosalie Patricia Ferrugia.\r\n\r\nJoe (Big Joe) is survived by his wife, Deanne (Dee) of 30 years; son, Joe Marino and his wife Jane; daughter, Denise Sanches-Cox; grandchildren, Colton and Leyton Sanches, Ryleigh and Sydney Cox; and brother, Louis Marino and his wife Linda.\r\n\r\nJoe moved to Kerrville in the late 70's where he owned Kentucky Fried Chicken. After KFC, Joe opened Big Joes Country Store. He loved owning Big Joes Country Store, which was known for its Thursday Spaghetti Day, Chili Cook-Offs and was a hub for all hunters to show off their trophies. He then joined the Bill's Bar-B-Que family where they spent many years serving the public.\r\n\r\nJoe loved vacationing, hunting, golfing, cooking, flying his remote-control planes, shooting skeet, riding the ranch in his golf cart, and spending time with his grandchildren.\r\n\r\nJoe lived life large and always made everyone laugh with his unique sense of humor and one liners. His heart was golden, pure and full of so much love for his family. Joe was one of those people that when you meet him you will never forget him. He always left you with an everlasting fond memory.\r\n\r\nMemorial services will be held at 2 PM, Saturday, October 3, 2020 at Grimes Funeral Chapels.
