Joe was one of the nicest people I have EVER met! He always gave me a helping hand, at work and never wanted to put someone out of their way. Once when I gave him a ride to Plastpro , I had my small puppies with me, later one of those puppies got hit by a car and Joe was so sadden by this, that I have to believe now that Joe is in heaven playing with my puppy (Callie) and telling her how missed she is never knowing just how missed he is. I MISS JOE VERY MUCH! Love ya Joe!

Dear JoAnna and Family,
I'm very sad for the loss of your Dad,Son and brother. I feel blessed

He was always proud of you and you never let him down. You...

I'm sorry for your loss. Joe Joe was one of the best. When God made him, he definately broke the mold. I worked with Joe Joe at Plastpro and he made work just fly bye. If he wasn't playing a joke on someone, then someone was playing a joke on him. I will never forget him or his mommy salami and fatty daddy stories. This man definately loved his FAMILY and friends! We will miss you Joe Joe. He was loved by many, but will be missed by all!
