Not sure what to say?

Time passes so quickly. It's hard to believe it's been 10 years. I have happy memories of Joe and the time we had together as roomates along with my brother Jim. He was loyal to his friends, had a great sense of humor and was incredibly bright. He left us far to early but he is fondly remembered by all those who knew him well.

It has been several years now, but it still seems like yesterday I heard of Joe's passing. Joe and I were lifelong friends from Kindergarten and all through school and young adulthood. I knew a different person than the one I read about here. I knew the young man who always read, was a great athlete, and wanted to be a drummer so bad! We all came from humble beginnings so "drums" would be quite a luxury. Life went on and we grew apart, but were always "brothers" in many ways. It was...

Hard to believe it's been 8 years. RIP. my friend.

When I came to Honda as an outsider Joe took me in and taught me "The Honda Way" more than anyone else. We ate lunch together almost every day. I just learned of his passing and am saddened for his family and all who knew him. He was one of the few people I missed when I left.

In Memory of Joe, one our honored colleagues in the close-knit supplier risk community:

Joe flew high above the fray
Was thoughtful in every way
His client's best interest held to his heart
We could count on him to always do his part
For without Joe's steady hands and strong analytical stand
The group would quickly mire
Into deals less desired
A superb elder statesman with a voice deep and soothing
He would soon have us moving

Hi Kathy,

Just learned of Joe's passing while reading the Catholic Times, I am so sorry for your loss:( Both Mason and Rachel remembered your boys and Mason remembered Joe coaching him in some sport along the way!

God must have needed a new drummer for His Heavenly Band and knew Joe could do the job, may you find comfort knowing that Joe is at Peace entertaining the Lord.

Hugs...

Kathy, Jake, Phillip and LaFleur Family,
I wanted to let you know that we are thinking of all of you and you are in our prayers. Love, Wende, Abbi and Brady

It was a pleasure to work with the Barry White voice and the nice french name you can easily remember. Thank you for your professional and always human behavior.

I knew Joe only as a lawyer on the other side of a difficult deal. He was a gentleman of unfailing courtesy, tenacious in advancing his client's interest, but always willing to listen and always ready to work across the table to find solutions to thorny problems. They should make more like him. My sincerest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
