I met Joe only once, yet we had an hours' long conversation on a variety of topics. He was a wonderful guy, and I'm sorry he's gone. Ed Jex, San Diego, CA

So sad to hear about Joe's passing. He was the best neighbor we could ever have and we will miss him so much. Really going to miss spending the afternoons with Joe in his garage visiting and hearing all his great stories. You will never be forgotten Joe - Miss you so much already!
