Joseph Manuel Lairson

Joseph Manuel Lairson, age 63 of Hamilton, passed away on Thursday, June 17, 2021. Joseph was born in Hamilton, Ohio on January 13, 1958 to Gertrud and Manuel Lairson. Known to most as Joe, he attended New Miami schools and later joined the U.S. Army. After his time in the service, he worked various jobs until he found his passion for driving a truck and seeing the country. Joe worked with his brothers at Lairson Trucking for over 30 years. After retirement, he enjoyed sitting on his porch and visiting with his neighbors and grandkids. Joe enjoyed playing cards, could play music on the organ by ear, but most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family.
