My mom, Naomi, and I are so sorry to hear of Joe's passing in February. May he rest in peace. Please let Jean (niece of my grandmother Frieda Johannsen DiGrazia), that our thoughts and prayers are with her.

Joe was my "boss" in the BMC pits w Uncle Jack Flaherty ( who brought Joe to BMC) in the Lister Jag; Merle Brennan in the very successful E Type; Jack Dalton and Denise McCluggage in MGBs; too many to list !. He was a gentle soul and a great teacher ! A suspension genius !

A dear, one of the "original" neighbors. Many memories of his "fancy" small cars up and down the street. Always a great smile. Our sincere condolences.

A true legend in his time !!! Right here in our "back yard".

On behalf of the Croughan family, sending our love, appreciation, and joy for all of Joe´s contributions to Novato and racing.

Joe's performances on the track, and his other contributions to Motor Sports, were models of excellence. Much to be proud of, as he crossed life's finish line. Rest in peace.

SADDENED HEARING OF JOES PASSING. REALLY HAD A GREAT LIFE. WAS NICE KNOWING JOE AND JEAN. MANY GOOD TIMES AND MEMORIES I'M SURE HIS FAMILY IS PROUD OF HIM.
