I just came to learn of Joes passing. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Joe & I worked together as Union Representatives at Mack Trucks. Joe was one of the most dedicated, sincere & competent Reps I ever worked with. His modesty was as incredible as his firm convictions. He was tremendously respected by the members he represented, the Company & by the Officers & fellow Reps at UAW Local 677. I am honored to have known Joe & proud to call him my Freind that we all will surely miss.

Uncle Joe suffered many assaults on his health in the last few years and, yet, he constantly surprised us and honored us with his presence at our weddings,graduations,and any other family events. He stubbornly refused to give in to any bad hand dealt him. We will miss you, terribly, Uncle Joe.
Love,
Vicki, Karen, Barbara, Bill, Marie & John
