Mary Woodworth wrote a sympathy message

“Peter and Brian: your father was the best! I’ll always treasure the years I worked with him in the provost’s office. Joe was kind, compassionate and Miami’s best ever Vice President for Academic Affairs. A truly extraordinary human being who based his administrative decisions on his strong principles of honesty and integrity. Joe was one of my favorite people and I’ll miss him very much. He spoke highly of you and I’m thankful that I saw you occasionally. Best to you both. Mary Woodworth”
