Joe was an intelligent, nice guy to work with. He always had a smile on his face. Rest in peace, Joe.

I am sorry to hear this. He was a frequent customer at a local dry cleaners where I work. Always happy and was so friendly with everyone. He liked to make a cup of coffee and sit and visit with me and other customers. He will be missed.
