No matter the hour, no matter your ‘condition’, Joe’s door was always open for you. No judgement’s. Just refuge. Heaven’s door opened easily for him. My deepest condolences.
Although Joe was a man of few words, those words, his actions and demeanor spoke volumes. He was a true “Dad” in every sense; supportive, loving, motivating and a teacher. Although he could be stern, he was still always revered and respected. He was a mentor and motivated me in countless ways that I’ll never forget. PARS, Worldspan and Travelport colleagues from back in the day still speak highly of him even all these years later…Rest in peace Joe. You certainly deserve it in my eyes. I applaud and salute you for the wonderful memories, the way you carried your cross through the years with dignity, for the man that you were and for the example you set. My deepest condolences to you Bobby and Tim. May God bless you and comfort you in the days ahead…Most sincerely, Kevin (and family)
Joe and I became friends through the Platte County Sheriffs department. We enjoyed many good talks and laughs through our volunteerism. Also, both of us were with TWA. We shared funny stories, cartoons etc. on Facebook. He will be missed forever. My deep condolences to his family.
