A sad announcement, but it awakens a flood of happy memories of working with Joe. He hired me when I was unemployed and desperate for a job in '64. He was a very patient and thorough boss, and I was privileged to be asked and serve as his assistant manager before I was transferred in '69. He was tough, but his great sense of humor was tops among his management skills. While the office was in Philly, we enjoyed lunches together at a favorite oyster bar. Most memorable experience: A 'white-knuckle' cruise down through Delaware Bay on the 28' boat of a mutual friend. The friend was taking his boat from Bristol to its summer dock up along the Jersey shore, and Joe and I were his 'deck hands' for the 2 day trip. The day we were in the bay, it was rougher than any conditions we had ever seen, and one of the engines kept failing. We managed to stay in the boat, and by the time we pulled into the Cape May Canal, we were full of bruises from being tossed around, but not too weary to miss a good seafood dinner. When Mosler business brought Joe to Minneapolis in 1970, we got together and reminisced about old times in Philly and Jersey. May God comfort his dear wife, Lou, his family and other loved ones.
