I got to know Joe as I was working in Stamford on Summer St. from 2003-2011. I brought mostly suits and some pants to have him make alterations. His attention to detail was superb. He always got it right and at a fair price. After his alterations were completed I would stop by to pick up the garment and I would try it on in the mirror and he would say: "Now it´s yours". In other words now it fits you perfectly. I always enjoyed that quip! I also enjoyed our conversations immensely. He was a true gentleman and an excellent tailor. God has gained another angel in heaven.
