I am so sorry for your loss – your family is in my prayers.
Paul and Nancy Treib says
You can tell a lot about a person by their hands. Joe was a mechanic most of his life. Those same hands were gentle and loving enough to hold his grandchildren and great grandchildren until they fell asleep while he rocked them in his recliner. A good example for them as they get older and have children of their own. Joe will be missed by many.

Met the Treib kids a few years ago through BCA pool leagues. John and Joe Jr. had some of the biggest hands I ever came across. Then I met Joe. Things became very clear. Thinking of all of you.

I worked with Joe for many years at Placer Motors. He was a great guy to work with. We shared a lot of laughs and he made our little group of mechanics fun to be with. He always shared his knowledge and was willing to help everyone. Even though it was a GM store he was a die hard Ford fan. A true mechanic. Sorry for your loss Angie
