Joe was my supervisor at the county (early 80's).

It saddens me so much to hear of the passing of Joe McCord. Wise, knowledgeable and kind, he was always a delight to visit with, and a most admirable member of my extended family. I will miss him. My condolences to Joni and all the McCord family.

I am so very sorry for the families' loss. Joe along with Joni was such a recognizable force in our community. The couple could be seen supporting a number of community efforts and programs. He will be greatly missed. May the many memories you have give you comfort.
