I served in the state legislature in the 1980s and early 1990s and Joe was one of the kindest and most respected and effective lobbyists with whom I had the pleasure of working.

To the Joe Birk family:
I worked closely with Joe when he lobbied in Jefferson City, especially for Union Electric and on various projects, like the Edward Jones Dome. I always respected Joe for his intelligence, integrity and kindness to those around him. He is remembered by many in Jefferson City as a person who made a big difference in the lives of his fellow Missourians.
Sincerely,
Joe Driskill
Former Director of the Department of Economic Development and state legislator
