When my wife and I were young and had just moved to NYC, Joe welcomed us generously with dinners and introductions to his friends.  He figured out how we were related (cousins of some sort despite the age difference), and it was great to share the same name, especially when I would see his trucks in the city.    

We will always remember Joe and Helen very fondly.

To Helen and Anna-
Jann and I will never forget Joe; one of the nicest people we've ever known.
Joe Silverton

Joe was always so much fun to talk with because his work brought him to some very interesting people.  

He had an incredibly good heart.  He even helped us move our daughter into College.  

We miss speaking and emailing with him, and hope his whole family is well.

Joe, Jann, and Jana Silverton

Joe was not only a very warm and kind man, but he was a fine craftsman and a true Artisan.  I am familiar with some of  Joe’s wood crafting, and he was also a great artist.  
I will never forget when he took me up in a two seater plane and flew us around effortlessly.  That day was a special one.
We are very sad that Joe has passed, but we are blessed that we were friends.  
We send our sincerest  condolences to Joe’s family, and may Joe rest in peace.

Joe, Jann and Jana Silverton

“Words are but vague shadows of the volumes we mean…” T. Dreiser
Joe was my uncle, godfather and a true friend.  
His presence was a blessing in my life; with his kind, generous and loving heart he was a ‘soft place to fall’ when the world was cold, he brought the light, and equally when necessary, he bravely delivered the inconvenient, undesirable truth that every so often was needed.  Different cities, distance was irrelevant because he was always ‘there’, receptive – thoughtful, engaging, soulful, and quick to find humor and have a good laugh.  
I will warmly remember and be thankful for Helen who cared for him with such compassion and love, and allowed me to spend 4 days by his bedside during his last week; I will forever carry that special time in my heart.
Rest in Peace Joe, So long for now… I will miss you terribly.
Love you,
Christina Hauser


We are very sorry to hear of Joe's passing.  He was a gentleman and the best Contractor we ever worked with.  It was a special privilege to have known Joe Teklits as a friend and to have worked with him.  There are very few people like him.  God bless Joe and his family and may he have eternal peace. 

With our heartfelt sympathy and condolences,

Cosmo and Colette Veneziale
