I remember the first day I met Joe and the smile on his face when I told him, "you've got the pool dimensions wrong" ... he gently explained that on 4.5 acres, it "looked like a postage stamp", but he assured me that his measurements were accurate, and to trust him ...that was 22 years ago. We have fond memories of his visits years ago. Elaine, our deepest sympathy to you and all of your family on the loss of your beloved husband. He touched many lives, and is a man that will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love,

Rest In Peace my friend! I can't believe you are gone. You were a part of my life ever since I moved to Monroe! I think you were one of the first guys I meet at Bill's and we had coffee together almost everyday for over 25 years and worked together for 10 years, you were a big part of my life and I will never believe you are gone ! It was a pleasure to know you and work by your side ! You always told me that You, me, Andy and Segundo were the best team you ever worked with , I hope you knew how much that meant to me ! Coming from such a hard worker and a perfectionist like you I always knew that was a very big complement coming from you!!!!! Once again Rest In Peace my friend it was an honor to have you be part of my life.
