Not sure what to say?

I played football and basketball against Joe in high school and he was an extraordinarily talented athlete, always the one guy who alone could take over a game. May God's grace shine upon him.

I'm sorry. Joe was a great guy, and a great football teammate at the AF Academy.

Sue & Family,
We have lost a formidable presence in our world. Joe was a remarkable man. He loved his family more than anything else in the world. And his business acumen was undeniable. He will be greatly missed.

Sue, my sincere condolences to you and your family. I just learned of the recent passing of Joe. My prayers are with you. Though I never knew him so many people have responded totally positive of the life he led. Certainly you will always have those wonderful memories with you forever

I'm so very sorry but I didn't learn about Joe's death until just now. Sue and family, you my deepest sympathy, support, and prayers. I would like to think Joe and I became good friends during the years I worked at Saint John's and consulted with him on dozens of occasions; at one time he served on our Board and provided valuable governance-level service. Joe's humility was perhaps his greatest virtue, though courage and perseverance were also contenders. Rest in peace, Joe, you've surely...

Joe was an incredible man and an incredible business man. He was a total joy to work with over the last 25+ years, teaching me a great deal about life itself. I was very lucky to count him among my friends. The world will not be the same without him. We lost someone very special. And Sue, I know how much he cared about and admired you. Joe and I often talked and joked about our spouses and the support they gave us and each of our families. I know that at this point, no words can...

We have lost a great friend. I feel so fortunate to have met Joe. His guidance was invaluable to me personally, and for my business. His life and the way he lived it are truly inspirational. I will miss him.

Here's a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly.
We drink to those who gave their all of old
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force!

Our sympathies to Sue and family. We are sorry we cannot be there with you. A great man to be with. The CHA Garage Sales were so much fun. His humor really shone through. We will miss him deeply.
