My deepest sympathy to Joe’s family. Joe was a one-of-a-kind person. I will always remember him as a hard working, fun loving individual. Asides from being a super technician in our lab, he always had some interesting side project he was working on. When there was a tough problem to be solved, you could count on Joe to have a couple of ideas. He will surely be missed by myself and his many friends.
Our Deepest Condolences go out to the Moraski family. Joe was one of a kind, and such a awesome artist. We always loved to visit Joe and see his beautiful metal works. We will keep all in our thoughts and prayers.
I was really sorry to hear that my friend Joe had passed. He was my mentor when I was a new engineer at Pax back in 1987. He taught me many things on Test and Evaluation and we both spent many a night shift testing aircraft on the Range. Uncle Joe, as he liked to be called, also taught me how to sail. He will be greatly missed.
It was so sad to hear of Joe’s passing. He was a long time friend and co-worker and will be sorely missed. My condolences to his wife and family.
I met Joe while volunteering at Sagepoint and didn’t know him long, but everyone there liked him so. He was just a kind, wonderful person and will be sorely missed. I have made a special effort to visit Elizabeth Wynfield since I learned of Joe’s passing and I hope knowing that is of some comfort to your family.
My sympathy is extended to you and my prayers go with you.
