Tribute
Joe was from Massachusetts and from a long line of
descendants of John Bissell, who arrived in America in 1624 and settled in
Connecticut. Among his ancestors was Israel Bissell, who accompanied Paul
Revere on his famous ride. Revere was captured, but Bissell made it all the way
to New York and Pennsylvania to warn patriots. Joe's passion was flying.
Soloing at age 15, he was hired at age 21 as an airline pilot for Northeast
Airlines, which merged with Delta Airlines. As Captain, he flew throughout the United
States, Europe, and into Russia and Istanbul. A loving father of two girls, he
loved airplanes, DIY home projects, his family, golf, and travel.
