Worked with Joe at Warnaco and used to get together once a year to talk about old times. Joe was respected and loved. He would do anything for you. He was a good man that we will all miss.

Joe was one of the few guys in the military that I enjoyed having as a pal. Our likes were the same as far as having a good time when we were off duty. One time we went to San Francisco on the weekend to enjoy the sites. But Joe was not too keen going out at night. I felt the same , so we ordered some nice food and enjoyed watching some TV before heading back to the base.

Oh Joe, I woke up this morning and I typed in your name on the google site. I didn't have a computer for most of my life until now. Last time I saw you, you were ready to ship out to England. I knew you when we were at Castle A.F.B. in California. We went to see the premier of the movie The Good, the Bad & the Ugly. Went to the second viewing
because the first showing was sold out. I remember you & I walking back talking about the movie. I have a small polaroid I took of you somewhere.
When I saw your recent photo, the eyebrows and
smile, I knew it was you. Never told you this, but
after watching the movie when I got back to the barracks , I over slept and missed my flight. The
acft went down. no survivors. I was sent to Guam.
I was also born in 1945. Someday will get together again and share more stories. Rest in Peace my friend.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise found in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring you some comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

I am deeply sadden for the loss of a dear friend. Joe was an inspiration to me and always lifted my spirits. He was a kind and caring person and went out of his way to help his former employees, friends and family members.
I know he was proud of his family and the love he had for them by his spoken words.
My deepest sympathy to his wife Terry and all his family members and friends. Joe will not be forgotten and my prayers are with him and all others. When I think of Joe, I will always remember his sense of humor and kindness and I will miss out conversations thru out the years.
Lots of love and prayers
