For over 25 years I have been volunteering at Catholic Charities, and for most of that time Joe was an integral part of the agency's success. My little, one-day-a-week time contribution did not give me many opportunities to interact with him, but I did get close to the executive director and his assistant and all you had to do was listen and it became obvious just how much Joe was contributing.
On those rare occasions when I would attend a Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada function, and had a chance to visit with him personally, it became even clearer how much he loved Las Vegas and how determined he was to give back as much as he possibly could to the community. He was a gentleman through and through, and we have all lost a true friend whether we knew him or not.
