So very sorry to read of Joe’s passing. I always enjoyed working with Joe. He was one of the best. R.I.P. my friend. Prayers and condolences for his family and friends. You will be missed.
I enjoyed my working relationship as well as having a personal, friendly relationship with Joe, as we worked together at CSX. Joe was always one to offer information, from his experiences, on just about any subject in life, as our conversations developed. Knowing Joe, I knew of his Faith in Jesus and am pleased that we will certainly see each other again, in God’s timing. May his family and friends be comforted by God’s Holy Spirit, during their time of grief and beyond.
Enjoyed working with Joe. Keeping family in my prayers. RIP Joe.
