    Joe and I worked together at the Rensselaer County Probation Department during the middle ninety sixties. He was an excellent administrator who had a very progressive philosophy regarding corrections. Joe was particularly interested in the approach to corrections that emphasized family participation. He placed great emphasis on Department resources being utilized in Family Court where early intervention with families was feasible. Joe was a complete professional whose demeanor was completely oriented to service. My thoughts and prayers are with Joe’s family. Please accept my condolences.

    Dear Kate,

    Barb and I were so sad to read of Joe’s passing.
    He had such an uplifting spirit and a zest for
    living. We were unaware Joe had Alzheimer’s.

    I am sure he was comforted by your caring
    devotion to his wellbeing. Our heartful condolences
    to you and Neil.

    Fondly, Bard & Stu
