    We are going to miss you Joe! You were the heart and sole of Noralco Corporation! You dedicated your life to the success of the Company. Those who worked with you knew the meticulous effort you put into every project. I knew you couldn't stay away when you retired. I'm glad you stayed, but also wished you could have enjoyed retirement more. You have two great boys who continue your legacy with Noralco. I see you and your effort in both of them. I know you were very proud of all your sons, as you should have been. Thanks for taking me under your wing when I started so many years ago! I am going to miss you!

    We were sad to hear the news of Joe's death. Joe's second wife was my Aunt Pat who was blessed to meet such a wonderful man. Joe was a very kind sole who cared for my Aunt as she struggled with her own cancer. If only all peope could be as kind as Joe. We offer our deepest symphany and prayers to his family.

    My sympathy to the Tomasits' family. Joe was one of the nicest men I have known, I was new to the EDS when I met him and I didn't really know many people there, he sat with me and introduced me to everyone and engaged in many conversations with me about all sorts of things. He was truly a gentleman and I was proud to know him. I'm sure he will be missed by many.
