Joe was a friendly guy to work with, always had a smile and a kind word. Spent many days working at RMC with a finishing crew on one of the extrusion presses that Joe operated. He was a steady, dependable co-worker and an all-around nice guy, he will be missed. Rest in peace Joe. Walt Lodes Jr.

Concetta, Ardis and I are so sorry to hear of Joe's death. It came as a surprise. We are sorry that we could not make the visitation or the funeral. We were in Chicago for Thanksgiving Day at my brother's house. We pray that God will give you Comfort.

Whenever I'd see Joe at Mass he'd give me the biggest handshakes, and ask how I was doing, always with a wide smile. To Connie and family, may God grant you peace.
