I knew Joe from working at Whitehall after Whitehall closed we invited him to have breakfast with us a few times. He was for sure one of the nicest sincere person I've ever met.
Rest In Peace Joe I am positive you will be greatly missed and my condolences to the Mollo family.

I also worked with Joe at Whitehall. I worked as a Packaging Supervisor and interacted with Joe most every day. He was always easy-going and an overall great guy! His staff of hourly workers loved working under him! My condolences to his family.
