Not sure what to say?

It was a Blessing for me to talk to you at times when you would visit the Corp. Office in Germantown and Collierville. David Harris, Orgill Security

I just learned of Joe's passing. He and I were room mates at Taft. A great guy whom I remember with great fondness.

A gracious man to everyone in all stations in life, Joe made every one in his presence feel comfortable and of value. I and,all who knew him, have lost a dear friend.

A few years ago, Joe became my friend, mentor, and fellow film enthusiast when I became a member of Dixon's Visual Arts Committee, which Joe was chairing at the time. We lunched together and Joe even sat in on my film history classes - with special enthusiasm when we screened and discussed "Casablanca," which was a personal favorite. I will miss his friendship, his commitment to community, and his unpretentious and totally genuine spirit .

Joe was a memorable and most friendly golf partner and friend. I will miss his enthusiasm at the Belvedere Golf Club, as will his many many friends. My sincerest condolences to his family.
