Joe’s attention to detail was second to none and everyone who knew him quickly learned that a task could be done the right way, the wrong way or Joe’s way. We all agree that Joe’s way was the BEST!

Joe was an aviation aficionado and he spent countless hours watching aircraft take off and land at airports up and down the Eastern Seaboard. He could identify all types upon sight.
