My sincere condolences to you and your family. I knew Joe through work as I was a rep who was fortunate to have called on him. I have very fond memories of our casual conversations and Joes “laid back” voice. Every time I talked with Joe on the phone and asked how he was he would say “not bad and you?” Joe seemed to have “Life’s” challenges in perspective. I learned from him that things are always pretty good with a few bumps here and there. Joe spoke about his children and family in very high regard. In particular Joe spoke about how smart his son is and it was wonderful to hear stories about him.
I will very much miss talking with Joe and his ability to make one feel as ease in any situation.
