Bonnie,
I am deeply saddened by your loss. I didn't know Joe, but based on what I have read from you and others who knew him, he was a stand up guy, and I know that you will miss him profoundly. Please know that our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Joe and I first met last spring shortly after my move to Caldwell. My brother, a long time Caldwell resident, recommended Joe to me as the most competent and honest HVAC Contractor that he knew. Joe came over and serviced/adjusted my air conditioner. We became instant friends! Upon noticing a couple of horseshoe stakes in my backyard, Joe picked up one of my horseshoes and proceeded to throw a "ringer". He then invited me over to his place and presented me "regulation stakes" and "official rules". I was looking forward to a long term friendship (and some horseshoe lessons). Joe's untimely death has left me shocked and greatly saddened. Bonnie, you have my very deep sympathies and sincere condolences. Joe will be missed!

Bonnie,
It is of great sadness and shock to hear of the loss of Joe!
Linda and I owned the fourplex next to the horse shoe pits at
the Caldwell Park. We met Joe when we first purchased these units. Naturally, Joe maintained the heating systems of this building for 30+/- years, until we sold.
I just talked to him the other day, finding him jovial as always.
Joe was a great asset to his community, profession and hobby.
His had great integrity and he always had time for a good chat.
He was a gentle man in all aspects.
May the good Lord ease your grief and watch over you and your family during the coming days.
