Hard to believe it’s been five years.  Joe was a gentleman and a true professional.  He is missed.

Joe was a good and kind man.  He is missed by many.

Joe was a kind- hearted gentleman, a
terrific professional, and funny! He was a happy part of our everyday lives.  We miss Joe.

Remembering Joe - a kind soul and gentleman.

Joe was much more than someone who worked at the Bayshore Diplomat - he was a wonderful part of our everyday lives.  Maria and I always enjoyed talking with Joe - funny, courteous, a true gentleman.

Maria and I send our deepest condolences to Joe’s family.  May his memory always be for a blessing.

To the Diaz Family:
Blount & Curry Funeral Home at Garden of Memories extends its heartfelt condolences. Our sympathy and thoughts are with you.
Sincerely,
Marie Pimperl,
Director of First Impressions

My grandmother has lived at the Diplomat for my whole life, so I have known Joe for 27 years. He was my absolute favorite guard growing up,  always letting me run to him just before he picked me up in the air. I absolutely adored Joe and I looked forward to seeing him every time I went to visit my grandmother. When I came home from college I moved in with my grandmother and started seeing Joe daily. He greeted me with with genuine enthusiasm and on some days he was the only person that made me smile and laugh. Even when I would walk in the back door, you can guarantee I would hear Joes voice on the intercoms saying  “caaaaroliiiiine!” or “shes baaaaaackkkk!” Since March, I have been staying with a friend to socially distance from my 87 year old grandmother. I moved back in moments ago just to find out Joe has passed.  I am in complete shock and I am so heartbroken that I was not here these last few months. He was the best guard the Diplomat could have asked for and I always felt safe knowing he took his job very seriously. The Diplomat will not be the same without him. 

Shock -  was my reaction when I got the message.   
Living at the Diplomat, everyone knows "Joe" - he was your best friend - your father, your brother, your buddy, your pal.  He was always full of smiles and silliness.   He was kind, considerate, and caring.  I loved hearing his stories, and he was always good for a stupid joke -  or two.   
The diplomat, and the rest of the lives he touched will never be the same again.   I was blessed to have had the opportunity to know him -   Joe - you are one in a million, and I will smile every time I think of you -  I wish you peace and happiness in your next adventure.      

The mail that Joe had passed stunned me.  Find it hard to believe still.  Joe was more than the guy on the door; he was a friend.

Joe was always up for a story or a laugh.  Our salute greeting was such a part of my day, everyday.  We talked music and sports and just about any other topic.  Going through the front door when Joe was on duty was never just passing through.

We moved from the Diplomat recently, but still need to return on occasion.  Don't know how that will feel now with Joe gone.  RIP, my friend.

Joe was often the first smiling face I'd see when I returned home late from work, or late from a business trip.  He'd see my car come into the parking area, and walk outside to ensure I had a safe walk into my building.  Joe was always smiling, ready to share a cute story or anecdote, and always willing to lend a hand.  For the four years I've lived at the Diplomat, it has truly been my pleasure to know Joe.  His upbeat manner, friendly smile, and warm welcome home will truly be missed.  My prayers to Connie.  Rest peacefully, Joe.
