Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He was a great mentor and friend. I worked for him for a number of years and really benefitted personally and professionally from his guidance and thoughtfulness. We developed some really unique buildings that benefitted and changed the communities in a really meaningful way. The world is a much better place with you having been in it. I will fondly remember our time together. My condolences to the family.

Joe was such an uplifting, joyful presence at Williams. He made everyone he encountered feel like gold. And, of course, we all loved that little bit of mischievousness that followed him everywhere. He will be sorely missed by so many in the class of 1981.

Occasionally, I would run into Joe in DeCicco and he was usually so pleasant. I´m sorry to hear about his passing. Condolence to the family!!

Joe was such a part of the Hackley community and will be missed at our reunions. He always showed up with a big smile on his face and plenty of laughs. He has made such a huge impact in Westchester with his development projects and will leave his legacy in his many building projects and developed communities. Life is short - get out and live it!

Buckingham Palace, Trafagar Square, ending up taking our photo (besides a very large policeman) on the...
