I worked with Joe in Yellowstone National Park, and stayed in touch with him for years after. You will truly be missed sir.

I just hear about Joe's passing tonight through the Parkway newsletter. Joe and I were good friends for many years. I played on the police softball team, was the bartender for their Christmas party one year when I knew nothing about drinks but needed the money, and he went to court with me once when I had to appear for speeding. Joe was a very giving person and always helped others when he could. He would laugh at me and then he would help me. I will never forget his kindness!

I worked with Joe in United Nations Mission In Kosovo. He was one of those rare individuals whom, after you've left their company, you have a smile on your face (and he'd have one on his face, too). We spent some late nights at our company house in Kosovo "talking it over"... funny stories, time in Vietnam, latest mission scuttlebutt... you name it. He always had great things to say about Sherri. too. He thought the world of her. God's going to get a happy warrior. Thanks for the wonderful...

Joe in Kosovo in 2005...
Joe,
Thanks for being a good friend all these years. I am so sad that we will no longer be able to chat on the phone.
Great times in Kosovo! When we were at Yellowstone this year we went to places and saw things we may have missed if you would not have given us the guidance of where to go.
God Bless you Sir!

I worked with Joe in Yellowstone. Every time I saw him he instantly made my day better. He’d always greet me with a lively Miizzz O’Hara and it made me smile every time. I am so lucky to have known him.
