WISH TO SEND MY DEEPEST SYMPHATHY TO MRS. NAYLOR AND HER FAMILY FOR THEIR LOSS OF A GREAT MAN. I WORKED AT STATE FARM IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO KNOW JOE AND LAUGH AND JOKE WITH HIM.. HE ALWAYS MADE IT A POINT TO COME DOWN WHEN I HAD MY 15TH AND 20TH ANNIVERSARYS WITH THE COMPANY.....THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM WAS IN MAY WHEN I RETIRED...I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM AND HIS GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR...
