Joe was the perfect example of a gentlemen, one of the few I have ever met. His influence and character could be seen through the family members I met. I never heard Joe complain or criticize others. It was a pleasure to work with him and I will always remember our time together. My thoughts are with the family and hope you go forward following the example set by Joe and Olive.
