    Kathryn Henry and I had the opportunity to work for years with Joe in ERDC (Eastern Regional Data Center) and FRDC (Florida Regional Data Center) and we both thought the world of him. He was so nice and kind to everyone he met and helped us so much in doing our jobs. He loved his family and he loved his friends. Doris please know that you and the boys are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. We will surely miss that great big smile. Kathryn Henry and Jim Johnson – Orlando, Florida

    The lives of many were touched with Joe’s kind and warm personality that he spread all of is time here with us. And he will very much be missed. I know with out a doubt that he was proudest of being a father and a husband to his family. Joe will always be loved in the hearts of those that knew him well and those he may of met through out his live at the companies he worked for. Joe loved life and hearing about other’s lives and dreams, and was without a doubt a GREAT cousin and friend. We will all miss Joe but we all always remember Joe. And may we all always remember our short time on earth is only part of along journey that God has planned for ALL of us.
