Sincere sympathy for the loss of this dear one. Joe was a wonderful choir leader at Woodmont Baptist Nashville Tn. He was serious yet he made choir practices fun. Thank you Lord for allowing our paths to cross. God be with the family, comfort you and give you peace.

We were both members of the Williamson County Band. I always enjoyed hearing his laugh and enjoying his sense of humor! He was just a very nice man. I am so sorry for your loss.

I was very fortunate to have known Joe and his family for many years. Joe and I met while working in the training industry and we later became friends and then business partners. Joe often shared with me how much he loved his children and his faith. He always had a smile on his face, a story to tell and a song to sing. He was one of the best counselors I have ever worked with. Joe will be greatly missed by the hundreds of individuals he has helped over the years and by those of us who worked with him, laughed with him, and loved his spirit. Rest in peace, Joe.

Working with Joe I always remember how much I looked forward to meeting up with him. He made travelling to the worst locations fun! I have more 'Joe'isms' than I deserve. He was a joy and a gift to everyone. Will miss you, Joe.

Joe's wisdom, common sense, spirit and sense of humor enriched every conversation we had. I always looked forward to talking with him, knowing that in our conversation he would find a way to make me a wiser person. And he did this every time we spoke - what an extraordinary gift!

As a Career Coach with The Impact Group, I experienced Joe through Community Central, a sharing site. I was impressed with how much he always contributed and shared...a giving person. My healing thoughts go to his family.

So sorry to hear about Joe passing. We sang and played sax many hours together in Williamson County Community Band and in a little jazz group. He was so kind and thoughtful and energetic and always cracking a joke.

Joe was a pure delight to work with, talk to, and be friends with. I tried many times to out-wit him but fell miserably short since his perspective and sense of humor was as sharp as a tack. As a fellow Christian I loved his insight on our shared faith. Prayers to his family!

I had the privilege of knowing and working with Joe when we were all at Spherion Human Capitol Consulting. Such a kind, caring person and very good at what he did. There are only good memories of Joe (and his chocolate). My deepest sympathy for his family.

Joe will be greatly missed by all his singles family. He was such a wondeful Christian man and he never stopped amazing me with all the things had done in his life. We will miss his charm and his wit. He has surely taken a part of our hearts with him. We love and will miss you Joe!

Joe, see you again soon.

My deepest sympathy for Joe's family for their sudden loss. Although I only recently became friends with Joe through the choir at Celebration, I could tell he had many good qualities. I'll miss looking across the stage and not seeing Joe playing his sax. Happy for Joe, for he is now with my best friend.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I had the wonderful opportunity of singing in a choir with my grandfather that Joe led in the 80's. We so enjoyed the music and fellowship that choir gave us.
