Funeral arrangements have not yet been publicly released, though friends expect a large turnout from across Pennsylvania’s trucking and racing networks. Many are preparing to gather in Bedford to pay their final respects and to remember the man whose life embodied dedication, courage, and compassion.
As Bedford reflects on this profound loss, the memory of Joe Means stands as a testament to perseverance, hard work, and community spirit. His name will live on in the hearts of those he inspired — in the roar of engines on race day, in the rolling of trucks down familiar highways, and in every act of kindness that carries his legacy forward.
