Joe was a highly valued member of the faculty of the College of Education at EMU for many, many years. His contributions to the profession are well remembered and highly significant. His life was well spent as an advocate for people with disabilities. My deepest sympathy goes to his family and friends.

Grandpa Joe was a one-of-a-kind, kind man! I will always remember the time we spent zipping around Briny Breezes in his golf cart; soaking up the sun and enjoying the ocean. I love and miss him and will always cherish the time we shared together!

Joe was the best college advisor! He went out of his way to check on how I was doing in school at Eastern. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and I am praying for his family! Really a great guy!
