I first met Joe when we were both taking an Excel class at Chase (work) and sat next to each other. The instructor gave each person a little bowl of candy. Joe noticed that I was picking out, and eating, all the gummy treats so he picked them out of his bowl and gave them to me. He was such a kind hearted person and will definitely be missed by many.

My condolences and prayers are with all who loved Joe. I've known him for 20 years. He was a cherished family friend. And we will all miss him so much. Although briefly, I'm glad I got to run into him just a few weeks ago. We love you Joe.

Joe was my best friend when he was working at discover. He always made me laugh and was always there when I needed a shoulder. When he left discover, we did keep in touch but then it slowly came to a stop. Joe - I just want you to know I miss you my friend. I'd been there if I had known. Now you are with our father. To Joe's family, I am sorry for your loss. Take care Joe. Melissa Wilson

Nothing sums Joe up more than those five words. I did it my way'. My heart goes out to Joe's family and friends. He was my sarcastic battle mate. The tie breaker will now have to be held in heaven. He will be greatly missed. -Nikki
