I worked at Xerox operating numerous machines that Joe serviced. I am glad now that those machines always seemed to break down because that gave me the chance to get to know Joe. He always had a smile, and the ability to spread one. I'm sure he'll be missed, and my thoughts go out to his family.

Joe was honest and hard working, he liked his job, and he loved his family. I worked with Joe for the past few years and he was alway willing to help, share advice, or come in with me on a call.
Joe always talked about Johnathan, his son, and how proud he was of him.
I hope there's a Tim Horton's in heaven.
