To Joe....Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. To the family; Joe and I often talked about the goodness of the Lord. We will often remind each other how God has blessed us with a beautiful family and all that God has done for us. He was and will be my Christian brother. He would say Don't let them steal your joy. Jackie and I hearts feel your sadness and pray the Holy Spirit gives you all (Joe

Joe and I both bought Kawasaki 454's together and cruised Pungo and the area surrounding Va. Beach. We worked on F-14's together and loved what we did. Joe was a great friend and a fun guy. I remember him as being a Family first man. He will be truly missed, I am sure of that. God Bless His family and may he grant you serenity. Rest in Peace Joe. Love Koop

We are so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I met Joe back in the mid-to-late 90's while working for the Mayport,FL Voyage Repair Team as I often traveled up to NORVA to share in the workload. Joe always treated me as a friend first, then was "all-in" to ensure I had his professional support on the job. To his wife & children, I would like to offer a simple passage that has helped me so much in av time of loss. We hope peace and comfort will soon occupy your hearts. Rob & Jen King
