i have happy fond memories of Steve’s dad, Mr Limbaugh!
Sending love to all of you from Scotland . x
Dear Doris and your family, What fond memories of you both during our MSA years. Joe was always a welcome presence whenever he’d visit H.R. and I so enjoyed seeing you both at the gatherings. I won’t be able to be there in person, but please know I’m with you in prayer and praise of this dear man.
Love, Linda
I have fond memories of working the night shift with Joe at MSA/DBS/Geac. He not only made a boring shift fun, but was also so patient with the ‘new kid’ and I learned a lot from him about many things. I’m sorry I cannot attend the service on Thursday, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
What a wonderful man! The world is a poorer place for his passing. I remember laughing with him at MSA – under it’s various names. And I always remember his kindness and willingness to help, to treat everyone with kindness and respect. Always a twinkle in his eye, a ready smile, and a laugh.
My husband, John, and I remember Joe from our past history at MSA when we were in the building next to Lenox Square. Joe was always an easy-go-lucky and happy man. We shared many a good time together on the General Ledger Staff. I’m sure he’s left his corner of the world a better and happier place.
Joe was always so kind and helpful He took the time to make sure I really learned. He was pivotal in my passion for my work. Thank you Joe.
I have great memories of Joe from those wonderful years at MSA. He was the kind of man who helped make those years great. My condolences to his wife and family.
What a great work-mate and friend at MSA.
Doris, our heartfelt sympathy to you and family.

There are many wonderful memories of working with Joe. Great man & counselor for the team
So many fond memories of our days at MSA together. Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Doris,
I am sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. He was a guy with a big heart and great ear for listening. Joe helped me early in my MSA career both professionally and personally when I relocated to Georgia.
His listening skills are what I remember most – he understood, had compassion, and helped people through the challenges.
Prayers & blessings for his family and for his soul. He is surely beyond the pearly gates and hitting the white-ball with friends & family.

Joe was the guy you could always count on when we had a tough problem to solve. He taught me a lot. I am a better person for having known Joe.
Craig
Joe was always such a pleasant person to be around and was there when needed during his long tenure with MSA/etc.. Who would have known we would end up living within a few houses from each other the last couple of years. Thoughts and prayers for Doris and the rest of the family.
Barbara
I have fond memories of working with Joe at MSA. He was always such a gentleman, so very helpful and such fun. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be missed.
We have fond memories of the many years with you in our home fellowship. His friendly and warm ways will surely be missed
by his loved ones and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Doris.
Carolyn Elkins has already said it better than I could. Joe was absolutely the best and most honest manager I have ever worked with.
I am thankful I got to work with and know Joe. He took me under his wing and taught me MSA applications when I first joined the company. No matter how busy Joe was he always had the time and patience to help others. An unselfish and loyal friend.
Joe was the best manager I ever had. He brought me into MSA and guided me through my years at MSA. He was also kind and loyal to all. My life was better because of his friendship
Doris and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Joe was a wonderful man as a husband, father, grandfather and friend.
He had a welcoming and friendly way about him whenever we visited through the years.
With sympathy and prayers,
Joyce Koenig
Dear Family,
May Jehovah God comfort you during this time of loss. Though there may be little that can be said or done to ease your pain, may you find comfort in knowing that many care and sympathize with your sadness. Always know that Jehovah God is with you to strengthen and guide you. May your trust in his promise of a resurrection bring you peace. – Acts 24:15
Warm Regards,
