My sincere condolences for your loss. It was a pleasure working with Joe at Havertys. He was a big morale booster always looking for a way to approve our sales that required financing. He was a fine man.

Joe got me a job at Haverty's (1987) at a critical time in my life. Even though I knew nothing about working in a furniture store. He was such a joy and a character.
My deepest sympathies and
prayers to all the family.
