So sorry for the loss of Joseph. He had a way about him that lifted your spirit. He had such great energy and was just a fine young man. My prayers are with the family and all those who had the pleasure of knowing him. He will be missed. 

I did not know Joesph, but I have known Jerry & JoCarol since high school. You could not ask for two better people, I’m sure Joesph was the same. I am so sorry for your loss and we will keep you in our prayers. 

I had the privilege of being friends with Joseph since 2017, and I worked with him at Mountain Brook Club for a little over three years. Joseph was a guy who would instantly make your day better. He would constantly make you laugh and you could talk to him for hours about anything. Every time our work schedules came out, I always hoped that I would be scheduled to work the same shifts as him. My favorite memory of Joseph was back during the start of covid. Joseph and I were the only guys on the outside golf staff that worked during that time so we worked together every shift. We would just hang out and talk for hours with nothing to really do. After our shifts, we would play golf and just laugh when we would shank balls into the woods on accident. Then every day that we didn’t work, we would play video games for hours with each other.  Joseph was a great friend and made a positive impact on everyone around him and he will be greatly missed.  

So sorry to hear of Joseph's passing - keeping Jerry and family in my thoughts at this difficult time. 

I worked with Joseph at MBC. Joseph was starting to pick up golf at the time and wanted to play a round before one of our shifts that day. On the first tee, he teed up the ball, got set for the shot and swung his classic hard baseball style swing at the ball. What Joseph did not know was that someone placed a prank golf ball in his bag that would explode at the contact of a club. BANG — the ball exploded into powder. Joseph, Nicholas and I all bursted into laughter falling down and rolling on the tee box. “Did I break the ball?!?” Joseph asked. “That was a fake ball man!!” We yelled back. Joseph laughed some more. This is a memory that I’ll never forget.

Joseph always made days better at work. He was the kind of guy when you saw that he was working with you that day, you knew it would be a good one. We would talk for hours about what we wanted to do in the future. He wanted to fly and travel the world. “I don’t care dude I just want to fly” he’d say. Joseph was a very driven, passionate, selfless guy who everyone loved. Did I mention he was a hard ass worker? The dude was a straight grinder. Joseph was a friend who impacted me in a positive way.
