Capt. Joe. Such a privilege to fly with you during the Gulf Air days. You truly cared about each and every crew member. You were one of the best! Thank you for your service and your incredible spirit! June Geddes Ameika

Thanks for getting me through Basic Indoc many years ago, and most importantly, thanks for being you, blessing us with your charm, skill, and knowledge. You will be missed.
Thanks again Joe, and safe travels.

To a wonderful man and good neighbor. Rest in peace.

I especially loved the “trunk monkey” commercials he inserted during his modules to lighten up the moments of intensity.

He truly was one of the most sincere, professional aviators that I have had the privilege to brush wings with in all of my career!

Joe, you are now among the...
