I am so sorry for your loss, Joe was a special man, he was always there to give support and sometimes, to just give a smile when you walked into the Panama. He always welcomed you and could always tell what kind of day you where having. I have to say Joe always gave me support when it came to my husband, and he would just smile and say he is in the back, go get him, Joe you will be missed

I knew Joe only a brief time when he owned the Panama Inn. I enjoyed kidding Joe whenever his beloved Vols were having a bad game, which wasn't very often. He truly cared for his customers and their well-being. He will be remembered and missed by all. My condolences to his family.
