Sandy, I only met you one time but I knew Joe thru his stops at Budget Auto. I considered Joe a friend and "stand up guy" with a great sense of humor. He will truly be missed by many. My thoughts an prayers are with you and the family during these sad times.

Sandy, I was sadden to hear of Joe's passing. I saw you at the hospital but didn't want to interrupt since you were talking with two gentlemen that I didn't know. You will be in my thoughts and prayers over the next days, months and years to come.

Sandy, I am so saddened to learn of Joe's death. Wish I were rekindling contact with you on a joyful note instead. I am sure there are few words that will ease what you are going through right now. Wishing you peace.

I will miss you calling me at five minutes to five and laughing about how this will keep me from leaving on time. You made my life richer and will miss you everyday. Love ya-Flossie.
