I knew Joseph from Havelock Police
Dept., while employed as a telecommunicator. He was very well thought of by many of his co-workers. My sympathy to the family

We remember Joe from McCotter Blvd Baptist Church. That seemed like a long time ago. Rest In Peace, and "Well Done Good and Faithful Servant."

Turly a sorrowful moment when I found out that Joe had passed. I worked with Joe when he worked at PMO. Those were some good times because he was a good person. My sympathy goes to his family.
