I worked with Joe for the first 6 months of my new job as Treasurer at Parma-South. I always looked forward to seeing him on Wednesday afternoons. He'd come in to the office and always ask "So, what's new?" He and I were both alums of Hiram College (in fact, I think he was at Hiram at the same time as my dad ... as Hiram was his alum as well).
Joe always had something to laugh about and I loved hearing about his time at Hiram College. I will never forget his wonderful smile and beautiful laugh, and how he made me feel confident in my new job as Church Treasurer. Joe will be so greatly missed and my prayers are with his family.

Deepest sympathy to Amy and the rest of family. Joe was a great guy. It was always fun to play golf with him on Thursdays. He always had Dots candy for me on golf day. He will be missed. Rest in Peace Joe

Deepest sympathy to the family. Joe was a true gentleman and an example to all. He was an asset to the community and was gracious to serve when asked. He will be missed. God bless you Joe.
