Each life is a gift. Joe was a treasure to his family and friends and will be deeply missed. I had the privilege working side by side with Joe for several years. He brought great intelligence to his work and much humor. Even after all the surgeries and medical procedures Joe endured over the last four years, he never lost his humor. Joe was fortunate to have a great wife, children and grandchildren to share his life. Joe, my friend, you will be missed by all.

I’m so grateful we got to know each other through phone calls and texts.   We loved your sense of humor.       

I’m so sorry we didn’t get to hug each other and our hearts are broken.   I love you brother, forever!  

Diane and Larry

Please share any cherished photos you have of our dad on the memorial website. I am putting together a slideshow to celebrate his life and would love to include as many special memories as possible. Your photos will help us honor and remember him together during the celebration of life. Thank you for sharing.
