Joe was my heating and ac guy for almost 10 years. Whenever I had to call Peter’s, I’d ask for him. I’d swear that if he knew you were a widow, he’d make you a priority. Joe didn’t talk much, but there was just a likeability about him, a dependability and I knew he’d get the job done right. I was so sad when he left Peter’s. I didn’t know he’d started his own business or I would have still hired him. Even though ours was just a professional relationship, I feel sad and I’m so sorry for your loss. May the Lord wrap you up in His comforting arms.
Thoughts and prayers for Fish family. Joe was a man with a big heart and he loved his family.
I worked with Joe for a few years. He sure was a character. He viewed life with a glass-half-full attitude and always had a witty comment for every situation. I’m fortunate to have seen Joe in high spirits shortly before he passed. He will be missed. Sending prayers to his family
We Are Sorry for The Loss of Joe. Sending Our Thoughts and Prayers to His Family.
Joe was our neighbor on 25th St and our neighbor here at Rocky Ford Crossing. He was a good friend and devoted family man, a man of few words, most often witty. We will miss him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family through a difficult road ahead. May your patience be strong as you begin to heal and his children be loved by all. God bless you all and keep you.
