Joe and I were colleagues at the NLRB. He was an outstanding attorney who had a long and successful career. I am so sorry to learn of his passing. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Joe was a great guy to work with and a well-respected colleague. Once I learned he served in the military that became part of our conversations. I can remember his warm laugh when either one of us made a joke. My deepest condolences to his family.

Joe was a great friend. We had great times together at tge Seaside boardwalk. His always calm personality was one of his assets and served him well. Joe, rest in peace and always keep that great smile.

The Davis family has my deepest sympathy with the passing of Joe. He was such a warm and friendly person. He brought that caring disposition to his work, which always made the end resolute the most humane despite the bureaucratic world in which he worked. The world is a better place having had Joe in it.

Joe Davis served honorably in the military, and it was my pleasure to work with him in the civil service for several years at the end of his career. I wish to extend my condolences to all his family, who I know will miss this great person terribly, and hope they will be comforted by his memories.
