I am so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. I worked with him at the Disciplinary Board. Our offices were close to each other. He was so kind and made it pleasurable to come to work. I can still see his smiling face. He was a co-worker but also a good friend. God now has another angel in heaven to help him.

To the entire Leipert family, my family expresses their sincerest condolences.
I worked with David and I see where he got his intellect from, a real chip off the old block. God Bless Mr. Leipert & all that mourn his passing. Rest in Peace Joseph.

I met Joe when I lived on 3400 block of Jasper st and he lived on Russell (?) st. Later he became my Sergeant in the 9th district. A finer, more decent man I'll never meet. I am sorry to hear of his passing.
