Joe was a very good guy. We joked around and picked on each other often. Before we went our separate ways, we always wished each other a good day.

In memory of Joe, a kind and hardworking man, he was brutally honest and you had to love and respect him for that, he will truly be missed, I believe the greatest travesty isnt death, but a unfulfilled purpose, Joe I believe you fulfilled your purpose and now you can enter into His Rest, rest my brother, rest on my brother. Crew 1 will truly miss you, Love you my brother!
