Joe was an extremely kind man with a great sense of humor. All who met him immediately loved him. He won many awards in his career, working for the airlines starting out at Pan American Airlines at JKF airport in NY. He later moved out to Northern California to continue working at Pan Am as well as Aeroground and Emirates Airlines.

Even though his career was successful, he was most proud of his four daughters considering it the greatest accomplishment in his life. His family was most important to him and was happiest when around them. Joe was very charming, handsome, dedicated to his work, and of course, dedicated to his family.

He was also an avid reader. He would read anything he could get his hands on. He had a sharp mind and a thirst for knowledge. He was also very generous and donated to many causes, especially St. Judes and Wounded Warriors.
