Joe, we worked together in Louisville when you were first starting your career. I liked you from our first meeting and you left a big impression on me back then. We reconnected by Facebook and when I posted a picture on Facebook in Baltimore you couldn't believe how close we were to you. It was like no time had passed since I last talked to you. I can't believe you are gone. My thoughts and prayers are with Denise and your boys. May you Rest In Peace.

Joe, I remember walking into a room talking smack, not realizing that you were there and when I saw you, I almost hard a heart attack, I just knew that I was fired...because you were from Corporate! That was my intro to you and then you said, it's ok, you're absolutely right, now let's fix it! We were cool ever since! You were the truth! Down to earth and just the kindest guy ever! I am so sorry I won't ever see you again on any Penske project, it was hard getting the news! Travel safe my friend! Blessings and prayers and lots of love and light for the family!!!!
