Morris Miller wrote a sympathy message

“Gone too soon! Joe was a wonderful friend. Thoughtful, caring, and generous in every way is how I will remember him. To those who knew from his military he was Ragman. I don't know where that came from him but he was Ragman before i knew him as Joe. A true hero - performed his duty in Vietnam with courage and dedication. He was responsible for maintenance of his Huey gunship and then flew on missions as a door gunner protecting the lives of his crew as well as the troops on the ground.”
