I've known Joe since I worked with him at Diablo in the 70's. He was a Good Laborer, a Good Union Man and a Good Guy. I am grateful to have known him- he was a good one.

My husband Bruce & I worked with Joe out at the Canyon in the late 70s and early 80s. He really epitomized the hard working man with a huge heart. When our sons were young, we loved to visit Joe at the ranch on El Campo Rd.
Brandon, your Dad couldn't have been any prouder of you. From the time he stuck you on an ATV and sent you off to mend fences, he taught you the meaning of hard work and enjoying the fruits of your labor. God Bless you & Jenae - we hope to meet her someday. Love and prayers to all of you from our family.
