Joseph D. Putnam

I had a wonderful professional relationship with Joe and he was truly a pleasure to serve. Very down to earth while having a great business acumen. He was always sensible and approachable while having a great sense of humor. I will always have nothing but respect for him and many fond memories too. RIP and thank you for all.

So sorry to hear about your loss. Joe sure lived a remarkable long life & left an amazing legacy. He will be missed by many, especially his family. Sending our sincere condolences. Love & prayers to all. Fondly, Flessel Family, Laura, Mark, Katherine & Ally

What a photo, what a story. My family, the Waters, were also in the car business and we bought cars from your family for years. Although founder Uncle James F. was many years older, and the legacy did not last as long as your Dad's, it is nevertheless a legacy of that burgeoning times and business of cars, trucks and vehicles. Although I now reside in the SC Mts., I can still see the building on California. Sorry for your loss. What a legacy and story!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Forever grateful to Mr. Putnam for changing my life believing in me and giving me a chance to become who I am today

I worked for Joe at the Buick GM store for 46 years in the early years. This man was smart and when he spoke, you listened if I remember right, he´s only yelled at me twice, but after he retired, he always remembered my name when I saw him when he walked through the dealership. My first only job I ever had. I am retired now and live in Nevada. That job taught me a lot about working on cars met a lot of good mechanics over the years working at his dealership in Burlingame. I will always...

Sympathy to Joe's family. His Sister, Doris married my husband's cousin, Kenny Miner. We knew Francis and Bertha very well. My maiden name was Vakiner from rural Gregory. Prayers being sent to all.
