Not sure what to say?

Worked with Joe at the Moss Landing Power Plant, PG&E, late 60's and early 70's and then down to Diablo for 2 years. Many great memories of Joe, and yes, he was a great person/teacher. We build many projects together. RIP Joe!

A good friend and member of our couples golf. He and Penny had a wonderful life together together. They will be missed.

The world loses a really good guy.

I worked for Joe for years in the Electrical Maintenance dept. at Diablo. He was a great boss. Even managed to hang out with him quite a bit at the lake, and various places. He taught me many things about being an electrician. The quote I remember the most "The only person who should never get shocked is an electrician, because you have the tools to prevent it" I will always remember that.

My condolence to the family & friends of Joe.

Patricia, I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your father.
