Not sure what to say?

I'm certainly glad I had the pleasure to meet and work with Joe and have him be a part of my life for a short time period. He will be missed.

Big guy with a big smile and perhaps a bigger heart. I remember Joe (from work at JDA) always talking about Customer Support. He was always thinking about someone else.

RIP.

So sad to hear, it has been a few years since I last saw you, but always a good friend, I'll never forget sharing a room at the Pike house way back when. Starting the day cranking Led Zeppelin through your amp for everybody's enjoyment or not, having some cold ones at the end of the day and of course deciding to head for Florida at spring break one day.

Rest easy pal.

So sorry to hear about Joe. Although it has been quite a few years since we have seen him, we will always remember his kind, friendly spirit. Our prayers to Joe, Sonja, Rob and Natalie.

Throughout high school, I was fortunate to spent a lot of time at the Zielkowski house being friends with Rob and Natalie. Even though Joe was older, he still took time to talk with me and, of course, pick on me a bit, but always did it with a smile and a laugh. He was one of those people who left a smile on your face after talking with him and that is what I will always remember about him. The Zielkowski family will always hold a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are...

You left a mark on all you encountered Joe. Only the good die young. Rest Easy Joe

From junior high through college, Joe was the centerpiece of those Damn Good Times that David Lee Roth crooned about. We will miss him, and his wacky lyrical inversions..."Hey! You! Cloud Off Of My Get!". Priceless.

You were always the life of the party, Joe. There were never enough of them.

At our 10 year HS Reunion

One of the best friends I ever had! Truly one of the good guys! Always wanted everyone to be happy! He was incredibly smart, a poet with his words... an awesome musician... but most of all a great friend you could count on. Love you Brother... Always!
