Joe! Forever the fondest memories of your compassionate heart and your great sense of humor. How was it that you could tell a story with perfect timing and deliver the punch line better than any professional? All followed by that LAUGH and those dancing eyes. You were a huge gift to me and added only joy, wisdom and kindness. MayGod Bless Kathy and Kari as you return to Our Father in Heaven. Keep ‘em laughing, my treasured friend.

We had some great moments fishing together down in Florida. I will miss you, and those good times, dearly. You also had the best stories about growing up in the city. May you rest in peace, and be in a better place. Ken

I met Joe in the mud-80s, Graphic Design was Joe’s company, and later moved the business in-house with my employer, Spectrum Graphic Services. In 13 years there, I never saw Joe flustered, always had a kind word and a great sense of humor. He loved his Abyssinian cats, and made some beautiful stained glass pieces. Knowing Joe improved my life, and I’m grateful to have known him. May he Rest In Peace after his long battle. Will miss you, my friend.
