Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear. Joe was a good guy.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Joe's passing Besides being a longtime customer of his I have known Joe since his early days at NADC Warminster. He was honest and sincere when it came to his business and that is why I would not use anyone else. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

I was a friend of Barb's years ago at Prudential.

May the Lord grant you his peace and understanding during this very difficult time. He is our rock & salvation, in whom who we need to cling to, especially during the sudden passing of loved ones! GOD Bless.

Dear Lynn & Family, Reading all these messages, they just keep repeating all of Joe's wonderful qualities.....Integrity - honesty - professionalism, topped off with a great sense of humor. I remember how excited he was when he got his iphone and I could send him pictures of our problem since the way I explained things could be very confusing. You and Joe were always available and a pleasure to deal with, and I know will continue with Dan filling very large shoes. Joe was always so proud of...

So sorry for your loss

Dear Lynn and family, I was so upset to hear of Joe's sudden passing. In my line of business it is rare to find someone who is reliable, professional and accountable. Joe had all these qualities. Plus being a really nice guy. I am afraid of electric and having little to no knowledge of how it works I counted on Joe and the guys to be there for me. And they always were. Joe would take the time to explain things and give me options. I can imagine the loss you are all feeling and my heart goes...
