Not sure what to say?

I worked with Joe at ASD for 5 years from 1988-1993. Brilliant, kind, thoughtful, competent. Through him and his tech team, I was introduced to supercomputing and world class scientists. He and Marilyn even instilled a bit of culture in my wife and me through inviting us to attend Dayton Philharmonic concerts. I´m a little late on my condolences but just found this online.

I worked for Joe several years in the digital computing section at the ASD computer center at Wright Patt. He was hands down the best boss I ever had. Sorry to hear about his passing.

He was one of a kind.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Please find comfort in the words found at 2nd Thessalonians 2: 16,17.

Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your father. We were your parents neighbors on Randall Rd. for a little over 15 years. We so enjoyed their warmth and the way they welcomed us into the neighborhood. We invited them to every party we had and they were a blast. So sorry for your loss. Your dad spoke with such pride about you both.
