They homesteaded on Twenty Mile Creek and later built a new home nearby. They lived there for several years. In addition to his lifelong interest in ranching, Mr. Joss enjoyed hunting, fishing and traveling. During their lifetimes, Art and Peg traveled extensively, visiting nearly every country in the world. He was a member of Ashlar Lodge No. 1, Korein Temple AAONMS and Oddfellows.

He was preceded in death by his parents: wife Peggy on March 6, 1993: sister Blanche; brother George; grandson Marty; and great-granddaughters Jessica and Leslie.
