To Joe’s family and friends, please accept my sincere sympathy and condolences. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Joe for more than 18 years.

Joe had such a vibrant and generous spirit, and an admirable approach to life. He was a kind soul. The first time I met Joe was back in November 1998 in Los Angeles when he began working with me by providing career sessions in the career center for the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting. I have fond memories of the evening Joe actually disclosed his middle name, Concetto, during a group dinner in Los Angeles. One of our colleagues, Kris Wyman, jokingly said to Joe, “You’re going to regret telling her that!” And she was right. From November 1998 until the last meeting (Experimental Biology 2017 in Chicago) where I worked with Joe, my greeting for Joe was always the same, “Yo! Concetto!” He would always laugh, shaking his head in disbelief that for the past 18 years I hadn’t missed an opportunity to say, “Yo! Concetto!” whenever we met.

Over the years, Joe shared his knowledge and expertise in career development, career transitions and career management which helped so many young, mid-career and seasoned life scientists. He would often say that he enjoyed helping to make a positive difference in a person’s life.

Joe was a proud and happy family man. He would often share happy updates about his children and most recently, his granddaughter. It was apparent to all that Joe’s family was the highlight of his life. He shared many interesting and fun stories about his life, his family and his friends.

Joe also shared his passion and appreciation for live jazz music, his amazing talent for playing the piano, and his hilarious, side-splitting sense of humor! Joe provided my comic relief when we were at scientific meetings providing career development services for the students, postdocs and early-career scientists. I always looked forward to having a good laugh while working with Joe. His jokes were hilarious, his timing was perfect, and his quick-witted responses were spot-on!

I’ve considered Joe to be high on the list of my "Favorite Humans”. I’m happy that I had the life experience of meeting and getting to know him. He and his quick-witted, healthy sense of humor and appreciation for fun will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I had the pleasure of working with Joe through his work with FASEB and ABRF, where he was a terrific colleague and mentor to many scientists. He would join our annual meeting and was truly a joy to work with, and always a positive light to many who sought his considerable expertise in career development. He was an amazing resource for how best to represent yourself as you embarked on a career change - resumes and CVs, job opportunities, preparing for interviews - he made time for everyone and always had a word of encouragement. With great sadness from all of us at FASEB and ABRF - we will miss his smiling face.

I went to school with Joe but have not seen him in many years. What I do remember is that he was a great guy and good friend, with a mom and dad that were the best. His mom and my parents were very close friends. To his wife and children, I extend my deepest of sympathies for this sudden loss. May it give you peace and comfort to know he is reunited with his parents and rests in peace in the heavenly Kingdom.

I knew Joe through our shared careers in the biotech and medical device recruiting business. We spoke every year for the last fifteeen at least, and shared our professional experiences. He was always wanting to do right by his candidates and clients, consistently honest, reliable, kind, and a pleasure to know. We would speak about our personal lives occasionally, and Joe always spoke so lovingly of his family. A great people person. I will miss our conversations.

My sincere condolences for your loss.
