"Although the timeframe was sooner than those who loved him would have hoped, Joseph Raines, Jr. achieved his highest goal on December 2, 2023, when he drew his final breath on Earth and moved with love and wonder into the arms of his Heavenly Father, the One he sought to understand and know more fully every moment of his life. Joseph was born in Sheridan, Indiana on November 10, 1932. After growing up in New Hampshire, he joined the U. S. Navy, where he served as a quartermaster during the Korean War. He then began a 35-year civil service career for the federal government and served in various leadership capacities in naval shipyards within the U. S. and in the Philippines. Joe's leadership abilities allowed him to have many vocational successes before he retired and moved to Foley, Alabama in 1988. Joe was a devoted family man and devout Christian. He married the love of his life, Norma Blair Raines, in 1954. They had a deep and abiding love for each other through their 69 years of marriage. He was also a long -time, faithful member of Gulf Shores First Baptist Church and Church at the Shores in Gulf Shores, Alabama. His greatest joys were spending time with his family, game nights with friends, playing golf, watching baseball, and cheering on the Crimson Tide. His ever-present smile and endless stories endeared him to everyone. He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Raines, Sr. and Louise Stock Raines, his brother Gary Raines, and his sister Winifred Raines Jones. He leaves behind a devoted family, including his wife, Norma Blair Raines, and his brother, William Raines. Others include his three children: daughter Joyce Raines Woodburn (Woody), daughter Brenda Raines Grabbe (Mike), and son Michael J. Raines (Patty). He is also survived by his eight grandchildren: Lindsey Hunter (Ben), Rebekah Kennedy (Shawn), Allison Hotchkiss (Adam), Lauren Simmons, Joseph M. Raines, John Grabbe (Jennie), Michael G. Raines (Rebekkah), and Kelley Wilson (Eric). His legacy continues through his 17 great-grandchildren, who from oldest to youngest include, Nathan Hotchkiss, Kate Hunter, Jackson Hunter, Cooper Simmons, Maggie Kennedy, Caroline Hotchkiss, James Wilson, Hannah Simmons, Emily Hotchkiss, Logan Grabbe, Dominic Grabbe, Macallan Kennedy, Avery Wilson, Abigail Hotchkiss, Elliot Raines, Sydney Wilson, and Jack Raines. The family would like to give special thanks to Gentiva Hospice, various doctors and nurses, and a myriad of friends and neighbors for the wonderful care provided to Joe during his final days. A memorial service was held for Joe at Pine Rest Cemetery on December 7, 2023. It was led by Dr. Shawn Kennedy, lead pastor at Church of the Shores.

The fourth child of Robert Lee and Julianne (Tatum) Hawkins, he was the baby, and their only son.

In 1992 he moved to Foley, AL where he worked as the Maintenance Supervisor at Tanger Mall for 13 years. He loved listening to and recording music, especially Lynyrd Skynyrd and anything by Jimmy Vaughn or little brother Stevie Ray. After seeing photos of a Jimmy Ray Vaughn statue in the Oak Cliff suburb of Dallas, he said he wanted to see the real thing, but sadly knew he would never be in Texas again. He had a large collection of songs he often played by early Blues Artists such as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and Blind Lemon Jefferson to name a few. He also enjoyed reading biographies of musicians and could tell you the life history of his favorites, such as Tammy Wynette. He was preceded in death by his parents, and sister Robin Alene Hawkins. Robert is survived by sisters Julia Leigh Deas (husband Joel Deas), Jan Allyson Hawkins (husband Kenny Pirkle), girlfriend Diane Moore, Aunts and many cousins.
