Mr. Joe was an awesome person to work for at Nor-Joe. He would always come to work with coffee for everyone from Burger King and was very knowledgeable about what was sold in the store. He always told the most amazing stories. He loved eating his chestnuts around Christmas especially warming them in the oven. I learned a lot from Mr. Joe. Sometimes he would come in singing parts of the song " sugar sugar and honey honey" He will be missed by everyone at Nor-Joe's.
