I went to school with Joe, and we share the same birthday. He was always friendly and jumped in to help when he was needed. I am so sorry for your loss.

My name it Douglas Mick
I also went to school with Joe, I first met him on the Bus going to school every day, we rode together,
went quiet a few year in the same class, Joe was always at the reunions and we talked about our times we both spent in the service.
May God Bless Him, and his Family, at the time you need it the most.

Joe was a very talented man. He was very dependable in coming to service our equipment at Divine Savior Healthcare in Portage. We will miss him and the reliability and dependability we could count on. We are very, very sorry for this sudden loss. Sincerely, Sue Condon and staff at Divine Savior Healthcare Rehab Services Department.

I am so sorry for the sudden loss of such a hard working guy. Joe and I worked together at Fitness Factory. He always made me laugh. I will always remember him for his pride he had in his children. Always talking about them and putting them first. Hope they have carrot sticks and ranch in Heaven! Rest in Peace, Joe. I know your hard work ethic will be so missed by all.

Joe's dedication, knowledge and work ethic will be impossible to replace here at Summit. He could always be counted on for an opinion on the Packers or Brewers, and we will miss our morning sports chats. Joe would do anything to help you and we truly appreciate everything he did for us. Our sincere condolences to his family.

Joe was one in a million, the most selfless man I ever knew. It was an honor to have known him. I will cherish the memories of the time we shared. He always put others before himself, and will be greatly missed. I will miss going to Miller Park with him, but will save him a seat in memory.
