Joe was our family’s electrician for 30 plus years. He always was kind and a hard worker. You knew if Joe fixed it there would be no issues. Multiple of our family members have called upon Joe over the years he worked in so many of our homes he was every one’s favorite electrician!

He had a great sense of humor and talked highly about his wife and family. Prayers to his family for their loss he will be missed by many.

Very sorry to hear the news about Joe. The last time I saw him was on June 12th and he seemed like the same old Joe that I have been friends with for 29 years. Although he did complain about a back injury.
Joe was old school and a great man...
Rose and I send our strongest condolences and prayers to Familia and Friends.
