Joe, I feel terrible for just learning of this. You were one of the few people that gave me the time of day and we developed a great relationship. Traveling out to Defiance isn't the same without you. May you and your family be at ease.

I was fortunate enough to work with Joe as a supplier for a short time. He was a very smart guy who did his homework and made it a point to understand different industries. I enjoyed speaking to him every chance because I always learned something from him and at the same time just simply enjoyed the conversation. A very easy guy to talk to for sure. He talked about his daughter often and it was immediately obvious how proud he was of her. I am thinking of him, praying for him and his family. His memory will live on with me and countless others. Eternal rest grant unto Joe, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Thanks Joe for everything.
