Joe Finneman

From Adventures in Odyssey Wiki

Joe Finneman is voiced by Parley Baer, and by Corey Burton for shows of him as a younger man. Connie's great uncle owns Finneman's Market.

[edit] Family

Joe is Connie's great-uncle, and the uncle of June Kendall (Connie's mother).

[edit] Personal Life

Joe was a courier at Pearl Harbor at the time of the attack on December seventh. As a sergeant in WWII Joe saw combat 'island hopping' as a young man. Joe now runs Finneman's Market in Odyssey. He has no great desire to go to church, insisting that they haven't changed since he was last there, and on top of that thinks he is too old for God, though we occasionally see Connie working on him to go to church.
