I had the great pleasure of working with Joe over a 10-year period.  He was so intelligent about our business - the kind of knowledge you don't find in a textbook, but from years of working in the industry - and he was always willing to share that knowledge and help others understand.

Joe was also one of the kindest, gentlest souls I've ever known - his love for his family was foremost, followed closely by his great love of the outdoors.  He was an amazing photographer - easily could have been published.

I will miss Joe greatly - he was a good friend, but most of all he was a good man that I had the pleasure to know for too short a period.

I worked with Joe approximately 20 years. He was consistently one of the most pleasant people I've ever been fortunate enough to know.  I will always remember him for the intellect and wisdom he provided for so many things.  I'm unable to snap a photograph without remembering one of the numerous photography tips he gave me over the years.  I also always admired his devout love for his wife, Anita, and the calm demeanor he kept in any situation.  I'll always miss him.

I worked with Joe for 8 years.  I will always be grateful for the things he taught me.  Joe was very patient and kind.  He took the time to teach, mentor, and mold me to the job at hand.  He was a man with a vast amount of knowledge in many areas: from accounting to auto repair.  He always had the answer.  I enjoyed our chats on Monday mornings.  He always had a colorful story about his camping, hunting, and photo outings with his bride and best friend Anita.  He will be missed!  Rest in peace Joe.

Joe was one of the most honest and smartest men I've ever known.....In addition,he was extremely kind.He was a good friend who will be missed.
