Yesterday

Joe was a great man with the nicest demeanor. He was always so kind and respectful. I always loved when I knew he was the installer for my clients. One day I met him at 0500 at the mall downtown was helping him unload the equipment, we came back down the escalator and his truck had been towed! Yes at 0500 and not another car or person around! We had a laugh and then headed to the office to tell on ourselves. I am so sorry for your loss of such a great man. May he rest in Peace
