I only talked to Joe on the phone a few times. But he was always helpful. I have known Judge Jim Etchingham for many years. He has been a great friend. We just learned of Joe's passing today. So very sorry for your loss. If i can do anything please let me know.

Sending my condolences to the Etchingham family. Joe was a great guy to work with. With a kind heart and a great sense of humor. Will always remember all the fun we had when he was the prosecutor for palatine. I am unable to name any involved on the grounds that I would be incriminating myself as well. God bless. Retired court clerk. Love Nina Savaiano
