Joe was a great man. I worked for him some 10 years. I was in the mailroom and he was the president but that didn't matter to him he treated everybody with same respect. Without his help I would not be the man I am today. RIP Joe we all miss you

Joe was a good friend, I met him when I was a project manager in charge of the tenent finish of his Dry Creek offices. I had many lunches catered in his ofice where we had great conversations. When I would return to Denver of visits I would always make a call to Joe and we would meet for lunch and great conversations, he was a great man and a insperation to me in my career.

I am saddened by Joe’s passing and offer my sincere condolences to his family. Although Joe was my employer, he was also my mentor and friend. He instilled in me positive work ethics and self confidence, for which I will always be grateful. His seemingly never ending exuberance for life was always apparent, and touched the lives of many of those around him, including me. Joe once commented “We work hard…but have fun doing it….and play hard too”. I will always have fond memories of Joe and the Kellogg Corporation and the great times we had there, like the annual Christmas parties, Code 1 meetings, Joke Gift Exchange, just to name a few. One of my fondest memories was the famous family golf tournament at the Keystone Lodge in Colorado I was graciously invited to, that Joe sponsored. I am grateful to have known Joe and I know his legacy will live on. Mahalo nui loa Joe! We will miss you very much.

I worked for Joe on two seperate occasions. During those times I grew to have a great deal of respect for him. I pray that all members of his family receive comfort knowing that he was a great person and helped many people who had the fortune of working with him and for him.
