I too worked with Joe. He had a wealth of knowledge. I loved working with him. One of my fondest memories was when I was sitting at his desk training with him. He was having a particularly frustrating night. His desk phone rang and I could hear his daughter on the other end of the line singing him Happy Birthday. He lit up like a Christmas tree the rest of the night. Condolences to his family. He spoke of you all often.

I am so sorry for your loss. Joe was a man of intergrity and would always be available for other co workers who had questions as he possessed vast railroad knowledge. May God be with you and your family and continue to bless your family.

I never worked with Joe but saw him outside or in the halls. He always had a smile and greeting for everyone he saw. He was a very kind and easy going person. He would tell jokes and keep you laughing. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. He was easy to like as a friend. Our deepest condolence to the family. John and Kat Smithe

To Joe's family relatives and friend's my utmost condolenseces I too was joe's friend and co-worker I was unable to make it to the visitation and memorial because I was babysitting by grandson's. I helped joe move several time as I had a truck and gave rides to joe home after work. Many times we had pizza and pop and had many war stories to tell. He was a swell fellow veteran and will miss him. I'll miss going to the Flameburger for Breakfest also
