Not sure what to say?

I'm sorry to hear about Joe's passing. He was very supportive of me and the staff at the EDSI Raleigh office. Despite his busy schedule, he always found time to personally thank all the staff and provide guidance during his visits to our office. He was very encouraging of me pursuing higher education and provided positive support. I've since obtained my Master's and wrapping up my Ph.D., and thank Joe for his positivity and ongoing support. Sending prayers to your family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear of Joes passing I'm in shock he was one of the nicest people I've ever known kind polite caring etc. I will miss seeing him God Bless you. and your family

Im lost

To a man that I respected and admired. May Joe rest in peace and you find comfort in God's love and His peace to fill your hearts!

One of the nicest people with which I have worked. The most sincere sympathies to Joe's family.

I am a co-worker in Lancaster, PA, who joined EDSI almost 2 years ago. I did not know Joe as well as so many others, but he always made a point to stop by to say hello whenever he was in Lancaster. With Joes interested, concerned and appreciative manner, you would think we knew each other for years. One day, Joe even made a point to stop by and coach me a bit before my first big meeting. My sympathy goes out to all who knew and loved him.


Joe always made himself available for a personal conversation. Having been educated by priests, I greatly appreciated his insight and perspective on life. I will miss those chats, and the sensitive aura he brought to every encounter. I will miss Joe. Vade ad Deum Josephus.

Joe was a kind gentleman. One of the first people I met when I moved to Philadelphia. Always had a smile and something funny to say. A brilliant person gone way too soon. I'll miss you dearly.
