Jacqui and I were honored and privileged to have had known Joe as a co-worker, ally, client and, most of all, a treasured friend. We knew Joe to be a perfect host, a gracious guest, a consummate competitor, a generous donor, a devoted family-oriented person, an opportunist negotiator, a considerate listener, and a student of human nature. We admired his ability to overcome countless personal and professional challenges and to grow from those experiences. He dearly loved his family, of which he was enormously proud, and we appreciated his ability to make us feel part of that family. He also enjoyed getting to know and to be part of our family. Joe was Joe, one of a kind, never pretentious, always friendly, highly inquisitive, and certainly, fun loving. We have never-ending memories of all the precious moments we were able to spend with Joe and his family sharing meals, drinks, travels, boat rides, lobster rolls, games, sunsets, picnics, as well as happy and sad events Jacqui and I are heart-broken to have lost such a great friend and he will be greatly missed. May he rest in the peaceful grace of God.
