Collin, I’m truly sorry to read about the loss of your grandfather. I know you were very close to him and will miss him greatly. May God grant you peace and comfort in the days ahead.
Worked with Joe for many years at the Haas. Not enough room to tell the stories about how he made it enjoyable for me to come to work first as a operator then when I was in supervisor. Will be missed.
