Joe was an irreplaceable member of our team that was taken too soon. I did not have the pleasure of working with Joe but we were teammates and so I am honored to be rallying support for his family. A family who chose to turn their own tragedy into the greatest blessing by giving the gift of life to 5 deserving individuals.  

And because I would not have been able to do his memory justice, here are some words from the folks on our team that knew Joe best: 

Anyone lucky enough to know Joe would tell you that he was an all-around great person who truly believed in the small things. He didn’t take anything for granted and always put his family first. Upon meeting Joe, he may come across as soft-spoken and serious, but as you got to know him you’d realize he was far from it. He was the ultimate jokester always looking for a way to lighten the mood. He had a contagious laugh and a confidence about him that was calming and reassuring. 

Joe was an excellent teacher for anyone willing to learn and always took the time to teach, especially when it came to conduit bending. It was obvious what a great father he was because of his patience.

Joe worked harder than anyone, but never let work define him. His family and relationships were what really drove him. Joe took care of himself physically and mentally; he read a different book every week and worked out every day always trying to keep up with the latest fitness trends.

Joe shed positivity and light wherever he went and he will forever have a special place in the hearts of everyone he touched.
