Not sure what to say?

Joe and I were best friends growng up grade school to high school. What wonderful memories of our times together. He was the best natured guy I ever met and was always willing to help and give of himself. He will always be in our prayers. Goodby my friend. You will be missed.

As one of Joe's AMP/Tyco coworkers I will surely miss him. I will NEVER forget his smile and how much the entire AMP team enjoyed working with him.

"Good night sweet Prince and may angels wing you on your way." I only have to close my eyes and can still hear the sound of your deep hearty laugh and that will always make me smile. Our laughter started way back in 1957.

I remember Joe from the Fieldhouse days and Gilligan's. What a fun person. With deepest sympathy to his family.

Joe first trained me at AMP and was a great teacher. He found humor in everything. But, I will remember most his love for ND. Good bye to a great man and great fan!

I always appreciated Joe's willingness to help anyone who asked during the many years I worked with him. He was always able to maintain his sense of humor regardless of the situation. However, most of all I remember how much he enjoyed the time spent with his family, describing the various trips and always looking forward to the next one.

Joe was a hard working guy that always made the time to help everyone else. After the days at the office, I remember many a night closing down Gilligan's with the Coach. The nights were filled with fun and frivolity and that's how I remember Joe.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Dana,

I worked with your uncle for many years and came to know him as a man who possessed unconditional kindness. I know I don’t have to tell you - but his greatest love was his family. His other enjoyments of golf and football were secondary.

After Joe retired, it did not surprise me when he decided to again join the ranks of the working class. He absolutely loved being with people. Thank goodness because we all loved being with Joe.

I would like to express my...
