Joe was my former manager in the company I am working for presently. He was the one who hired me. I first met Joe virtually during one of our interviews. I can't forget how he went unorthodox and told me I am hired. It was a very happy moment. The more I worked with Joe, the more I got to know him professionally and personally. Such a kind and jolly person, it was always a delight when you interact with him. When he left the company, he tried his best to hire me in his new company, but it requires relocation, which I cannot do. Such a great mentor and friend. I will always remember Joe as a manager, a mentor and a good friend. Thank you Joe! May you rest in peace.
