What do you say about a man who treated me like family almost from the day that I was introduced to  him and Clair some 40+ years ago.  I feel like we knew much of what was going on, but could do very little to physically help Joe during his last couple years of declining health, but my thoughts and prayers were always with him.  Additionally, both Rob and I will be forever indebted to Brad, Jeff, Denise, and Betty for taking such good care of Joe when he needed them most.  People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Dad/Joe/Poppa will always be a huge part of my life.  I was lucky to have gotten to know him and am proud to be married to Rob who is a lot like his dad.  I will be forever grateful to both Clair and Joe for raising an awesome person.  I will miss you both more than words can say.

Rob & Diana - thinking of you and your family and keeping you in prayers.

Dear Bradley, Your father must have been a great man to have raised a family that has so much compassion and love for family, community and life. My sincere condolences reach out to you and your family, my friend. Kellie K.

Uncle Joe,

Your Niece,

Dearest Brad and family, sending my love to you and so sorry for your loss. I know he is missed already and that you will always hold him in your hearts. love to you always, Rachel Hannegan

Domingo and I send our love. Joe was a great guy. I remember his easy smile and his and Claire's hospitality.

My grandpa was a man who would do anything for someone he loved. When times got tough, he was the first one in line. His life revolved around family & close friends. He has instilled this value deep within me that will be passed on throughout generations. Thank you for helping raise me and teaching me about love and life. Xoxo

I had the good fortune to be able to work with Joe in the South Bay control room. He always kept the control room fun, and easy going, no matter what was going on, even when the rest of us were panicking! I will remember his smile and laugh the most. Keep the coffee pot ready, Joe!  C. Moon

May you rest in peace Joe, and to your family may they know that Joe and Clair were good friends. My condolences

I had the pleasure of working with Joe at both Silver Gate and South Bay Power Plants.  Joe was one of the steadiest operators we had.  He'd handle whatever came his way with aplomb.

Please accept my condolences. My father Marco Masciarelli worked with Joe for many years and thought very highly of him. May he Rest in Peace.

Joe, you were one of my favorite CO's to work with. I always knew we's be laughing and joking no matter which shift it was. You were good too! A real professional. I was honored to work with and learn from you during those South Bay Power plant days. Fair winds and following seas Joe.
