Joe was a great employer, mentor and friend. He helped me and my family out in so many ways. He was one of the most generous and genuine souls I´ve ever met. I am thankful to have known him.

I only just recently found Joey's obituary here. Joey (Joe) and I were colleagues and friends in the late 80's and early to mid 90's before I moved away from Vegas with a family of my own. We were good friends. I remember hanging at his house, by the pool, barbecuing, watching Married with Children, laughing, (Joe had a great deep, almost mischievous laugh. LoL) playing golf together, and days at work. He was always up for a good time and always looked out for his friends. He was the definition of a stand up guy. We lost touch but I'll never forget the great times we got to spend. He was my mentor and friend and will always miss him. RIP Joey. -Johnny

I still think about you often. Especially when something hilarious happens. I wish that you could have met my children. You would like them. They have my demented sence of humor. Missing you now, always and forever.

Joe was a very smart man we met back in 1994 when I opened my call center he was always interested in how to make a buck although we never did business we shared many other interests, When I heard that Joe had passed I really was caught off guard I wish the best for his wife and family he really cared for others and God Bless him.

Joe, you are loved and dearly missed! You helped so many people help themselves and were a positive influence on many. Anyone whoever partied or worked for you, saw many sides of your complex personality. May you RIP and when you run into GiGi up there, have a drink with her for old times sake!

JOE WAS MY FRIEND MY MENTOR AND MY TEACHER. I LEARNED FORGIVNESS FROM HIM. HE TOOK ME AND SO MANY OTHERS BACK AFTER BLOWING IT WITH HIM SO MANY TIMES. HE WAS BIG PAPA TO SO MANY INDIVIDUALS. HE HELPED LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT DIDNT DESERVE IT INCLUDING MYSELF. I DID 8 YEARS WITH JOE AT AIC AND IAM DEEPLY SADDENED BY HIS PASSING. I BELIEVE HIS CONCERN FOR THE DOWN TRODEN OF THE TELEMARKETING WORLD IS WHY HE JUST DIDNT CASH OUT AND RETIRE EARLY. HE USED TO TELL ME "WHERE WILL THEY GO". HE DID CARE. I MISS HIM GREATLY AND HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF THE FUN WE HAD EVEN AT WORK. WE BUTTED HEADS YES BUT THATS WHAT FRIENDS DO AT TIMES. TO THE ROACH FAMILY ESPECIALLY BARBRA I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

Joe was the " founding father" of the telecommunications industry here in Las Vegas. Joe was always willing to help anybody trying to help themselves.
Not only did the industry itself suffer a HUGE loss, but many friends and family as well. - Tim Petko
