I worked with Joe in the intelligence division at Rhein-Main Airbase, Germany in the early 80's. He was a captain. Joe was a good natured man who didn't take himself too seriously, laughed a lot and had a big smile most of the time. We enjoyed each other. It's sad to learn that this good man did not have a longer life.

Joe and I were roommates our Sophomore year at NCA&T and in ROTC together. He was a great person and friend and will be solely missed. I wish to express my sincere condolences to the Sharpless family.

I was very sad to find out about Joe's passing from his Uncle in the Langley AFB commissary many months later. Joe and I were classmates at N.C A&T to include AF ROTC. He was a kind and humble man. We, all of his ROTC classmates, will forever miss him. Our belated condolences to all his family and friends.
RIP Joe.
