Dearest Teresa, Tyler, and Jordan,
Joe, valued friend and colleague for many years, always brought humor and energy with him. A respected educator, I relied on his experience and knowledge in his many roles in Hillsborough County Schools and in the Credit Union. It is so hard to believe he is gone. The world is a poorer place without him. John and I send our love to you.

Broken heart today.... A giant of a friend, mentor, professional. Way too soon. He made me grow well beyond myself. Our family was so enriched by Mr. T.
While he is free of his pain, we gasp for the enormity of this loss.
Love to Teresa and "his boys". BJ and Craig

Joe convinced me to go into education. He gave me my first teaching job and was always a mentor, a friend, and role model. I would not be a principal today if it weren't for his faith in me. Many of the things I do at my school today I learned form Joe at Mitchell and Dale Mabry Elementary. I will always be grateful he gave me a chance. Thank you Joe. Rest in peace

Joe was a wonderful leader and mentor; he served Suncoast members for many years both on the Supervisory Committee and on the Board of Directors, in many positions, including Chairman of the Board. I am personally grateful that he was instrumental in hiring me over 28 years ago. Joe cared about people, about helping people; his sincerity, leadership, ideas, and wonderful sense of humor will be missed! Love and prayers for Teresa, Tyler and Jordan whom he also loved dearly.
