Joe was an amazing man!  I met him through my parents, Bob and Judy Skechak, and he became family instantly.  They were blessed to have such a great friend in Joe.  He was always there when they  needed help.  Him and my dad talked on the phone every single day talking about all of their Navy stories and about family.  I would walk in room and say “Hey Joe” and he would say “Howdy”.  A precious memory I will never forget.  He is now in Heaven with my parents catching up on lost time.  I feel so grateful for having him in my life.  Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends during this tough time.  Gone but not forgotten.  
P.S.  Joe I’ve got your back on the next election ❤️

To Joe's Family, Rhonda and I send Our Sincere Condolences on the Lost of Joe.

As a Navy Chief, Joe and I shared a special bond, we were Brothers as only Navy Chiefs can understand.  Our Brotherhood now stand we a saddended place in our heart for the departure of our Brother who now serves with the Supreme Commander.

Fair Winds to you My Brother, know that your Brother Chiefs now have the watch, may you have Fair Winds as you now watch over us all.

Rest Peacefully, God Bless

I'm so sorry to learn of Joe's passing.  I got to know Joe when he'd come by Scholz Plant to drop off and pick up our company mail and packages.  Joe being Navy and me being Marine we had some hilarious conversations at each other's expense!  We both kidded each other but we also knew we had each other's backs.  After I retired I missed the conversations we used to have but we kept in touch via facebook and now I'll miss that too.  Rest in peace Chief.
