Not sure what to say?

Audrey and family Iwas just thinking about Joe,laughing about us playing golf esp. in Myrtle Beach. All the UPS grievance panels we went to. There was no one that did not like Joe.He was born to be a Teamster Business Agent. Still remember him coming to Philly and I to Giants stadium so we could argue over who had the best team.

Dear Audrey and Family,
I started working with UPS in Secacus in 1970. Met Joe then and never met a nicer guy and excellent shop steward than Joe. Will truly miss him. A huge loss for all who knew him R.I.P Bob Seiple

Dear Audrey,
I remember Joe from when we both started with UPS back in the early 60's.
Always had the highest respect for him.In later years after I entered into management,we had many meetings and he was always a fair man concerned about the people he represented.
May he rest in peace.

I have very fond memories of Joey as a young man joining the Marines with a group of other guys from the Step in Tavern. He and his brother were know as Big Perk and Little Perk, I was and still am dear friends with his sister Mary. My sincere condolances to Audrey and her daughters, and to Mary. May he rest in peace, a Jersey City good guy.
