I just hear about Joe's passing tonight through the Parkway newsletter. Joe and I were good friends for many years. I played on the police softball team, was the bartender for their Christmas party one year when I knew nothing about drinks but needed the money, and he went to court with me once when I had to appear for speeding. Joe was a very giving person and always helped others when he could. He would laugh at me and then he would help me. I will never forget his kindness!

I worked with Joe in United Nations Mission In Kosovo. He was one of those rare individuals whom, after you've left their company, you have a smile on your face (and he'd have one on his face, too). We spent some late nights at our company house in Kosovo "talking it over"... funny stories, time in Vietnam, latest mission scuttlebutt... you name it. He always had great things to say about Sherri. too. He thought the world of her. God's going to get a happy warrior. Thanks for the wonderful memories you gave me, Joe.

Joe,
Thanks for being a good friend all these years. I am so sad that we will no longer be able to chat on the phone.
Great times in Kosovo! When we were at Yellowstone this year we went to places and saw things we may have missed if you would not have given us the guidance of where to go.
God Bless you Sir!

I worked with Joe in Yellowstone. Every time I saw him he instantly made my day better. He’d always greet me with a lively Miizzz O’Hara and it made me smile every time. I am so lucky to have known him.

Our friend and everyone's friend! So sorry to hear this news from Sherri. We loved seeing him when he was in his beloved Yellowstone. He had a generous heart and a head full of great stories. We will give a salute to him the next time we watch Old Faithful! He was just that himself!

Chief Starck was THE BEST BOSS anyone would ever want.
Jimmy Joe had a great sense of humor and a tremendous loyalty to the City of Ellisville and his fellow officers.
Joe was very personable and well liked by many many residents of the entire West County area.
JJ was a great leader - he would never ask you to do something that he couldn’t or wouldn’t do himself.
Joe was 100% a team player.
The respect that he had from his entire department’s staff was well deserved and earned.
I consider myself very lucky and very honored to have worked with Joe and under his leadership for over twenty-four years.
The texts and e-mails are flying between many of your officers Joe!
You will be missed!
Respectfully,
Eric Huesemann

Joe, you were a great Yellowstone roommate! I remember so many good times - listening to Cardinal games, talking about casino experiences, and shaking our heads at all the crazy things that could only happen at the park. Andrea and I will miss you whenever we look back on the summers of 2018 and 2019.

We were so shocked and saddened to hear Joe has left us. He was such a kind, friendly, all-around good man. Knowing him and his siblings as cousins all my life was a joy. My sympathy to Shirley and his loved ones.
