I'm so sorry I'm just finding out. Joe was the such a joy and pleasure to talk to. I missed him not being next door anymore but it was always nice that I could text him. Rest well Joe....rest well.

My deepest condolences to the Barco family. Joe was my first instructor in Labor Relations and remained a friend through the years. He was the epitome of professionalism mixed with the right amount of humor. His reputation of integrity was unmatched, and I was certainly a better Labor Relations Specialist because of the time he took to train & mentor me. He was a large part of the success I've enjoyed through my career. God rest his soul.

Working with Jennie at Obici, most of our conversations were about family. She has always been devoted to her family. I am so sorry for your loss. Having just lost Gary in October, I know our pain is similar. My love and prayers.

Joe served as one of my mentors at NNSY and was a mate on several softball and basketball teams. Always a true gentleman, I am lucky to have called him a friend.
