He leaves behind his loving partner Don Steward, best friend Matthew and many other close and dear friends and colleagues, here in the Bay Area as well as throughout the United States.

His positive attitude and generous nature will be greatly missed. Besides supporting and contributing to the causes of the Opera Academy of California, Joe made major contributions to help the communities where ever he lived. In the latest years he had been involved as a volunteer with Project Open Hand and also counseled clients at HICAP.
