Joe was a class act, a Class Special Agent, and it was always a pleasure to work with him. You never forget those SAs that you worked with for years. There is a saying that once you are in Law Enforcement or a Fireman, that a lifetime commitment because the person that Joe was, touched our lives. To the family of Joe Sheridan, we were blessed to know and work with him. May Joe rest in God's Heavenly Paradise.

Joe was an "Agents Agent." Wise in the ways of the Bureau. Always with a smile. Whatever FBI Headquarters or life threw at him he'd shrug and carry on. I recall seeing him after work one night pecking away at a typewriter. He was writing a congratulatory letter to one of his friends that was retiring. A simple act but one that he relished as just "the thing to do". I don't imagine the FBI presents " Books of Letters" to those retiring. There are a lot of things the world will miss .. Like Joe Sheridan... and FBI books of congratulatory letters.

Dear Sheridan family, even though the soul leaves the body it never leaves its love ones. Your Dad & Mom will ALWAYS be by your side. Talk to them they will hear you. Your parents love never dies. I hope all of you find peace in the days ahead. Sincerely, Carol Brennan
