Joseph Anthony Miri

I just happened to run into this notice. I knew Joe Miri although not real well. As a graduate student at William and Mary in the early 70s, I took a seminar with him on urban politics. Back then I did not know that he was interested in water policy. Maybe his interest came later. He was a caring guy and I learned a great deal from him. May his memory be a blessing.

I'll remember the amount of energy that Joe put into his job at NJDEP. He wouldn't slow down until he was finished! And, he always did very good work. He's probably working right now with General Whipple!!!

I am saddened by Joe´s passing. He was a paragon of principal and conscientiousness. The NJDEP was improved in many ways by his work and would be much more effective if it were guided by his findings and advice.

I was blessed to see Joe about a year ago and talk to him at length, no longer as a an in-law's kid but as an adult. He is a fascinating man. I'll remember his easy presence and how he made everyone feel special. Rest in peace.

I was so sad to read of Joe´s passing. I met him after I became close friends with his wife Jan. The children were very young. Joe was a wonderful father, a devoted husband and caring grandfather. To Laura, Andrew and Edera: His love and influence on you was great. His spirit lives on through you.

My sincerest condolences to Joe's family and friends. I had the privilege of meeting Joe through my many years at DEP. He was such a kind person, he will be missed by dozens of coworkers and acquaintances.

My deepest condolences to Joe´s family. I was truly sorry to hear of his passing. Joe and I worked together at NJDEP. We represented the Department on several committees at the early stages of the NY/NJ Highlands Conservation and Inter-state Greenway´s initiative. We spent a great deal of time driving to Albany, NY for those meetings. He was always so proud of his family and committed to the environment during our conversations. I´m sure he will be missed by his family and professional...

My sincere condolences to Joe´s family. Joe was my boss for many years when I worked at NJDEP-Water Resources. He was exceptional at his job and a very kind person. Many find memories of working with him.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I worked for many years at the NJDEP with Joe. He will be remembered for working hard and always doing the right thing. Joe will be missed by many.
