I worked with Joe Melton at Stockton Street and R&D Semiworks. He was very knowledgeable and knew his craft. He was a pleasure to work with and you knew when he showed up the job was going to be completed and the plant/process would come back on line. He had a great sense of humor. May he rest in the peace of his Savior, Jesus Christ.
