I'm deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Joe Koff. His warm personality and genuine care for others made him truly special. I'll always cherish the memories of our time working together on the ROH/NJPW partnership and our calls. I will be forever grateful for Joe's thoughtfulness in checking up on me after my wife passed.

When I first visited Baltimore, Joe shared a recipe for apple sauce for my children, which I fondly called "Koff Sauce". Now it is even more special to my family when we make it in Tokyo.

Joe's legacy in the wrestling world and beyond will not be forgotten. My heartfelt condolences to his family and all who knew him.

Joe was co-worker of mine for many, many years; an incredibly sweet man and good friend. Though we did not share the same belief in the Messiah, we did share a deep common love for the GOD of the COVENANT and for the State of Israel. We had many deep personal conversations over a long span of time. Each lifting the other up in prayer in times of need. I will miss Joe greatly. My wife Denise and I will keep Lynn and family in our prayers and we know their memories of Joe will always be a great blessing. His legacy is one of honor. May there be abundant peace upon you from Heaven. Jeff and Denise Sleete
