We are so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. We will always remember him as such a nice and friendly man, but especially, a loving husband and father to his family. We have fond memories of knowing him during the years that all of our boys went to OLA. Our deepest sympathy to the family.

I was gifted by knowing Joe and you many years ago, and will never forget the beauty of his heart, the warmth of his love, and the strength of his faith in God. He is surely with Him now, and will always be by your side. My prayers and love are with you in your grief, hoping you know you are not alone.

Joe always put a smile on my face when I'd walk into a S-W store and see him (at any of the many stores he worked at!). Our customers loved him and it's no surprise why--he had the knowledge and experience but also the heart. He was one of those people you just felt at ease being around. Sending love and prayers during this time to Sujata, Joe, Chris, and Josh. Thank you for sharing your Dad with us--he will be greatly missed.

Joe was one of a kind. I loved seeing him at work every day with a smile on his face and never once had anything bad to say about anyone. He will be missed dearly.

Sujata and family - Sending deepest sympathy to you all on the loss of a great man. I have so many fond memories of Joe and all the Sulzer's from my childhood. It was especially nice to reconnect with both of you last summer on Catawba. May the Lord bless all of you and keep you in His loving care. Rest in Peace, Joe Pete.
