Joe and I worked together in Louisville, KY just prior to him getting sick. I didnt know Joe that much as this was the first time we had worked together. In the short time I had the opportunity to get acquainted with Joe I realized what a good man he was. He loved his family as he talked about them often. It was easy to talk with Joe. He was a very nice person with a gentle personality. Joe kept saying that he hated getting me and Greg sick and putting us in our situation. Greg and I both know that Joe would not not have intentionally done anything to harm any one, he was to nice a guy. We were just concerned about him and his health. I would have loved to have spent more time with him and got to know him even better. But God had different plans. We will miss Joe. I feel very blessed to have known Joe. God bless the family. Cherish your memories of him.
Sincerely, Ken Riddle

Theresa and family...
Please know you are all in our prayers. Joe was always a great encouragement to me and always a welcome conversation when we met up at the cable shows. I always smiled when folks talked about your wonderful marriage and family. Joe taught me the little guy always has a chance with the dream girl. A life well lived and a lasting family legacy.
Love, John Jackson, Denver, CO

I met Joe when I joined Corning in 2017. He was a great supporter and trainer of our RF customers. More importantly, he was a good coworker and someone you could always depend on for help.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.
