Andrew Bower wrote a sympathy message

“To Dianne, Renee, Aaron, & Family: I am so sorry to hear about Joe’s passing. I met Joe in 1988 at Hanover where he took me under his wing, as a mentor and a friend. I am so thankful and blessed to have had Joe as a close friend all these years. I will always remember him for his love for his family, contagious enthusiasm, witty sense of humor, intelligence and wisdom, and how much he cared for others. Joe lit up the room wherever he went. I will miss Joe. With deepest sympathy, Andy Bower”
