I became a Customs Inspector two years before Joe and worked with him until he retired. I will always remember his good nature, kindness, and great smile on and off work. One memory from the range will always bring a smile to my face. Carrying a weapon wasn't even required when I started, but eventually for awhile all inspectors had to qualify with a shotgun as well as a handgun. One time during shotgun training part of the course was to shoot crouched behind a barrel as cover. I was so thin back then that the impact knocked me over on my backside. The range masters had emphasized that we should never let go of the shotgun so I was still holding it aimed straight upwards. Joe calmly grabbed me by the back, propped me up into position, and I continued the course. One time I was so proud of my shotgun target I took it home to show. He always made the world a more pleasant place to be. Jan Garzon
