Twenty year plus co-worker at Reynolds, Joe was a good person to work with. His knowledge and abilities always made the difficult jobs go better, his energy was unlimited. I lost contact in the years since Reynolds (except for an occasional accidental meeting at the local Portillos). Very sad to hear of your untimely passing. My condolences to the Family
