I worked with Joe for years at Crown. He was a gentle soul who treated customers and fellow employees with kindness and compassion. Even though I haven’t seen him in years, this makes me sad as the world needs more people in it like him.
Joe, I have no words other than you will be missed greatly. You were a great friend that could be counted on to brighten the day. Much love and prayers to your family.
We are so saddened to have lost such a great man. You will be missed Joe! Hugs, Love and Sympathy to the family. Roger & Nancy Pederson
I worked with Joe thru Napa for quite a few years. He always had that electric energy that would get a room pumped up and bring a smile to your face. I would always call him Joe Joe and give him a hug. The world lost a great guy and he will be truely missed.
Rest in peace Joe Joe till we meet again.
I worked with Joe for about 10 years and he was always worried about doing things right. Joe was part of the Napa Brakes and Undercar team. He, along with myself and Ron Knapp formed what we called the Three Amigos. Joe always had a fun time when we would do a store move or new store. I enjoyed going to his house and putting together booklets for promotions and trade shows. I will certainly miss him. John Holm
Always a smile, then a hug, then how are you! as many would know this about Joe. So nice!!! I met Joe at Pine Street Cafe meeting up with my grandson Michael having lunch/breakfast. Will miss you Joe. My condolences to family and friends. Hugs
My husband and I moved to Spring Lake two years ago and Joe was the first neighbor we met. He was so kind friendly outgoing and he cared so greatly for his home and yard. His pride for what was his was next to none and every time I passed by out on a dog walk we would stop to chit chat. Every encounter was positive friendly and enjoyable. I will remember him always and he will be greatly missed on Lovell Rd by all. Condolences to his friends and family Joe was a remarkable man.
Where to start? Joe and I would connect about every other month. It may have been months, but it always felt like we just talked. We would always start off with sharing how our kids were doing, what we both where up to. Joe was so proud of his family, and he should be. He loved hanging out with Coen & Maeve, you should have seen his smile.
Joe, I will never forget you and will always remember our friendship, love you forever!
So sad! Such a GREAT MAN!! Always a Smile, Hug and how have you been? SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!! AND a HUG!! Here is a LOVING HUG for you My Dear Friend! May You Rest in Peace Joe! WE LOVE YOU!!❤️❤️☘️
Joe, I am not good at making friends and/or keeping them. But you became a true friend I knew I could always count on you. I love you, and will use this moment in my life to make sure I am always the one reaching out and being available to all my friends and family (which now includes yours).
