Condolence: I think of him so often, though I knew him only slightly, from the old Louisville Productions days. I loved his spirit. I can remember feeling so special whenever he simply talked to me. And while this sounds odd, I remember walking in back of him at Oxmoor once when we were both Christmas shopping. He saw me, and stopped and spent a real moment with me. That was Joe. Funny and sweet and wonderful. The world is a smaller place without him.

Condolence: Joseph, although I have only known you on the internet, I will never forget your wonderful spirit that came through our conversations. When I finally finish writing my 1st book, you will be in the dedication. Your spirit lives on!

Condolence: Joe was a very special person he was very much what the world needs more of.

Condolence: What great times I had working with you and Cora on The Inkspot...the precursor to your writing career. Rest in Peace, dear friend. Janice Hoaglund Fogt. Butler Class of 1964.

Condolence: Sad to hear the news about Joe. Joe was the ultimate professional at Lou. Prod. He made it all seem so easy, but that was a tribute to his uncanny skills and his ability to make people feel comfortable in his presence. He taught us many lessons, but most of all what a true gentleman is like. He is gone too soon and I know all miss him dearly. My thoughts with his family.

Condolence: Jennifer and family - Your dad was a wonderful, funny man who clearly enjoyed life. I have so many great memories of spending time with you and your parents during high school. Your house was an escape for me when mine was a little overcrowded. I think of the trip to Longboat Key often and it was so kind of your parents to include me so frequently. It was clear from his Facebook posts how much he loved you, Mike and your kids and I know how much he will be missed. I'm sorry I can't be there tonight but please let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

Condolence: Such a beautiful gentle man! The earth is a much better place because of Joe. So thankful for the years working together at WHAS/Louisville Products together and thankful for all his postings on facebook...Joe loves to share goodness and joy....thank you, Joe....eternal life....no "ed" mentioning you. Love to Joe's family

Condolence: Joe was a wonderful and compassionate man. My days at Louisville Productions are marked with so many laugh filled memories of him. He always had a good disposition on life and a warm place in his heart. My thoughts and sympathies are with the family. hugs.
