HUDSON FALLS – Joseph E. Nims, 72, of Hudson Falls, passed away unexpectedly, on April 26, 2020 at Washington Center in Argyle.
Born September 29, 1947 in Hudson Falls, he was the son of the late George A. and Eileen (Parker) Nims.
Joe had a passion for racing dirt bikes, in the dirt or ice. He could be often found rebuilding old motorcycles, especially his BSA motorcycles. Joe loved travelling to Arizona, where he vacationed countless times throughout the years. He was known by many as “Uncle Joe” but was more than just an uncle. Joe leaves behind many fond memories that will not be soon forgotten by everyone who loved him. He was thoughtful in his own way and his kind gestures will be missed.
Besides his parents, Joseph is predeceased by his brothers, George A. Nims III and William J. Nims, Sr., and his sister, Joan Bentley.
Survivors include his brother, Daniel H. Nims of Hudson Falls; his sisters, Carol Humiston of South Glens Falls, his brother in law, Rick Bentley of Fort Edward; his nieces and nephews, William Nims, Jr. of Hudson Falls, Pamela Humiston of Greenwich, Wendy Archibald and her husband, Jon Bausenwein of Ohio, Pamela Archibald of South Glens Falls, Jaime Ryan of Clifton Park, Leo Rousseau and his wife, Terri of Gansevoort; as well as several loving great nieces, great nephews and cousins.
Burial will take place at Moss Street Cemetery in the town of Kingsbury, at the convenience of the family.
Donations in memory of Joe may be made to a charity of one’s choice.

Even though I haven’t seen my great uncle Joe in a long time I will always remember how loving he was towards me. He is one of my favorite uncles. I will forever love you and miss you. I wish my kids had the pleasure of meeting their great-great uncle. Until we meet again love your great-niece Jo Christine.
Rest in peace Joe. We are so sorry to hear of your passing.our condolences to Joes family. He will be missed
Thoughts and prayers are with Dan Nims and family. Sorry for your loss.
Joe was my favorite, I used to ride on his shoulders back in the 60’s
when he hung out at Deweys working on cars, He taught me a lesson about what happens when you jump off the bridge over the canal on Rte 196 you get hurt and he never did it again.
His nick name was Cheese. And back then he was my buddy.
He will missed but never forgotten.
