Read MoreI am saddened by the loss of one of my favorite "car guy" friends. I would look forward to seeing Joe and his classic Chevy at car shows. Joe would get the Ostrander Racing group together at both the Baker College and CARS, Inc. car shows. I will miss his big smile and friendly conversation at car shows. My prayers are with his family and friends.

Very sorry to see the loss of Joe. Always enjoyed seeing him at the car shows and scooters, and listening to his awesome stories. Quite a man that definitely lived a full life. My prayers are with the family.

Joe and I worked next to each other at Applegates for 11 years (1976 through 1987). We have thousands of stories about things we dealt with in the auto repair business. In the Summer we used to sneak out during our afternoon break (for a road test) to go get ice cream. Then years later I would see him in the car show circuit. Prayers to the family during this difficult time. We lost a good man. RIP Joe. You will be missed.

Linda, so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I hope you and your daughters are doing well. It was nice to see so many of our old friends had already signed the Guest Book.

Joey was a wonderful man, who was a friend to everyone. Whether it was riding the Harley's or the many, many parties, we looked forward to talking and listening to the stories had to tell. Rest in Peace. "Sprinkle the infield"

Joe had been a friend for over 40 years. We remember him coming to Hogan Auto Sales, talking about boat racing and cars, and his loyalty to the "Apple". We recall his love of Linda and his daughters, who have our deepest sympathy.
