I haven`t seen Joe in years but I could never forget him. He was the best teacher I ever had at Kroger. He was a master at what he did. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. Although the pain in our heart is great, he no longer lives in pain which all should be thankful for. I can remember when Joe would pick up Madison from daycare at my house, and how kind he always was, and how super excited Madison would be when he got there. There truly are few men like Joe and his presences will be missed by many. Take care of yourself, and know that Joe will always be there looking after you.
