Condolences to the family for your great loss.
Joe was one of a kind man. A wonderful man to work with. I worked with Joe for a few years and he made those years bright and fun. Joe had a unique sense of humor, he had a joke for every occasion and a song for every name, he had a way to brighten the day. It was a pleasure working with him. You will be missed Joe,
Rest in Peace my Friend!!!
