Joe Mumma loved his family very much. Spending time with them and working along their side was his passion. Owning Mumma Salvage Yard for over 40 years was his passion. He loved to tinker and work on cars of all makes and models. He loved to help people he would give the shirt off his back to help someone. Talking about Jesus and discussing the bible daily with his grandchildren or who ever he did business with was very important to him. Spreading the Gospel put a smile on his face. He loved his church family. Reading his bible daily and living by what he read is how he lived his life. He read his bible from beginning to end many times. That was an accomplishment for him. He loved to play with the grandchildren and teach them the salvage business so that one day they could carry on his knowledge and wisdom of the junk yard business and teaching them about God. He will be deeply missed by all!
