I am so sorry to hear that Joe passed away. What a nice person I had a chance to work with him as one of his helpers during the holidays when he was working at UPS and he was such a nice guy to work with. He will be missed very much. My heart goes out to his family during this difficult time my thoughts and prayers are with you

As one of Joe's older cousins, I didn't hang out w/him growing up, but did get to know him more as an older adult and he was a good, giving person. I wish I could have spent more time w/him now that we're all retired, it makes you realize how precious our time here is.

I worked with Joe for many years in the Malvern center at the West Chester building. Such a nice guy, always smiling and happy no matter how hard or hot his day had been. Gone far too soon. Sending my deepest sympathy and caring wishes to your family.
You will be missed, Joe. Rest in peace.

Worked with him side-by-side before we became package car drivers. Great guy, mellow. Didn't have to be with him long to know him. An honor to have been a fellow UPSer.
