    My deepest sympathies are sent to the family. I was saddened to see this. I worked for Joe at Brum-Ko right out of high school 35 years ago. He was always very kind to me. I occasionally ran into Joe over the past years and he never forgot the good times we all had working there. Rest in Peace Joe.

      Thank you, Shelly. Joe admired your work ethic and had great confidence in your abilities. You proved him right. Thank you for your kind sentiment.
