He taught me a lot about the industry and how to deal we people that were sometimes difficult to please.

Worked with Joe at Aeroquip. He was one of the nicest people to work with and he always appreciated the letters I typed for him. He would often share recipes that his wife made. Bless the family

Joe Evans sounds like a delightful guy.
