Joe was a marvelous man. He was so kind and helpful to me when I first started working at Transair Airlines. Being a newcomer, he would help me with directions, tell me where to deliver the mail and was always there with kind words. Those type of people are hard to find nowadays. Rest now Joe, you are the best and thank you. - Posted by: Gloria Ivory (Transair friend) on: Nov 20, 2012
