He was born on August 12, 1982 in Norway, the son of James and Renee (Samborski) Stanchina.

He always enjoyed helping whomever and whenever he could, if it was a friend pouring concrete, small construction projects, helping his father cut wood and trees at camp or helping his brothers whenever he could. Joe was a hard worker and you always knew when he was around to lighten up a quiet room. He loved college football and was always willing to give you his two-cents. Joe loved his nieces and nephews, cheered them on, and always found time to reach out to them. He was more than Stubby, he was a son, a brother, and an uncle, he will be deeply missed.
