I always remember Joey. Mainly I remember him from his teen years and youth group stuff, like Righteous Mission. He always had a sense of fun and great humor. He was a caring young man.

I worked with Joe at Bordine's around 2007 through 2009. It was so long ago. I loved working there was such a great place with such wonderful people. Joe was one of those wonderful people. And I don't remember everyone there. But I definitely remember Joe. He was nice, very funny, there was no drama. He was just a great guy. I'm so sorry. He is someone who was a gift to those who I knew him. I didn't know him outside of work. But the Joe that I knew at Bordine's was just a great guy. I am very sorry and I hope your family is doing okay. I hope Joe is having an awesome time in heaven.

When I think of "Joey" I think of a funny, big-hearted kid who was a dear friend of my nephews. I think of him from his youth group days. Joey was loving and kind and he was also someone who joked and played around. He was a joy. I didn't see Joey as much in his adult years, but I know he impacted many in his work and of course, his wife and beloved son. You are missed, Joey. Prayers for his family and all who love him.

Friends from afar, Mike Neph and Bode Miller send their deepest regrets BUT ALSO THEIR JOY. Mike and Bode were good friends of Joe. I taught at Holly high school when Mike and Bode were students there. Mike asked if I could find something about Joe. They truly miss him and send their love from the bottom of their hearts. To the family, especially his wife and child, my deepest sympathy as well.

May God wrap His loving arms around you all, and comfort you as only He can. I had the pleasure of working with Joe for a season at Wojo's last year. He was always willing to help with whatever or whoever needed it. He was very educated about his passion, and always willing to take time to educate people on the plants/shrubs/trees they were purchasing. I will miss working with him this spring season...my deepest sympathy to all of his family, may he R.I.P.

I was lucky enough to become friends with Joe 18 years ago (back when he was still "Joey") & I've never once met anyone who didn't love him immediately. He had such a warm presence, great sense of humor, & gave the BEST hugs. He was truly one of the good guys. I will always, always remember him. Wishing you all peace.

Such a wonderful gentleman. Personally warm, friendly, thoughtful, funny, bright, and very kind. Professionally an excellent manager and purchasing agent. Thoroughly capable, smart, and decisive. All in all, just the finest of human beings. For the many of us who knew, liked, respected, and admired this exceptional man, we are filled with a very deep sadness and longing today. A cavern has been created that can never be adequately filled.
