Guestbook

  1. candleThank you for being such a great friend and always being there for all of us with great advice or just to lift our spirits with your great sense of humor. We will miss you very much Joe, God Bless.

  2. Farewell, my dear friend. The memories through the years will always hold a special place in my heart. I will miss you and our daily conversations, and the laughs we have often shared. Your friendship has always been something I’ve cherished. May god bless you and may your memory be a blessing to us all.

  3. Thank you for your friendship and support over the years. I take comfort in knowing your soul is continuing to explore the dimensions. May you find joy and peace in your astral travels, my friend. Love and light.

  4. Joe you were always so nice to me from the day I started at Sartorius until the day I left . We all had such a good time laughing . You were such a nice genuine guy and always had such insight on things . I’d love listen to you and service to go back and forth with the topic of the day . You will be missed . My prayers go out to you and your family .

  5. Joe was a good coworker and an ever better person.

    Joe was a man that always had your back when he understood the reasoning behind your methods. He was always willing to teach AND learn what he could, to make himself a better person, not only to his coworkers but to his friends and family. He was always so knowledgeable about world current events and would always shine a positive outlook on things.

    We used to always talk about Star Wars and sometimes Star Trek and he would love that someone at my age, from a younger generation, was so knowledgeable and into the same shows/movies and things he used to love growing up. That was the bond we had as friends, the bond as coworkers was stronger though and I would not know a lot of what I know today if not for him and I thank you for that Joe.

    You will be missed at Sartorius Corporation and Stedim.

  6. Joe was a pleasant, helpful, and engaging colleague. He will be missed.
    So very saddened by, and sorry about, his untimely passing.
    With deepest sympathies to his family.

  7. It was an honor to meet and work with Joe in the short time that we have worked together. He was incredibly kind and both well loved and respected by everyone around him.
    My prayers go out to his family and friends.
    Rest in peace and love, Joe.

  8. Joe, I miss our daily conversations. I find myself looking over towards your station waiting for a what’s up. Whether our chat was work, cars, family, our experiences growing up, it didn’t matter, the conversations were great. I am sure you will be looking down on your family from time to time, you may even look in on your work friends. I will try to do something dopey, crack a joke, or break chops now and then just for you. I have some people I look forward to seeing on the other side, you are surely one of them. Rest in peace my friend.

  9. candleJoe was such a kind and great man. Always enjoyed whenever we got a chance to catch up at work. Joe is a big part of Sartorius and we are all going to miss him so dearly.
    Rest in Paradise Joe.

  10. candleJoe, a day won’t go by that I won’t think about you with great regard. Amazing person in many ways. Our friendship – life changing. Great memories too. For me, you’re that older brother who did a lot – to make things better. The lessons you learned and then the knowledge you shared, is still in motion – helping others. Thank you again, again and again…etc.

  11. candleMy heart goes out to Joe’s family. When I think of all the good people who I have met throughout my life, Joe ranks as one of the best. His kindness, patience, and generosity always inspired me. I have such fond memories of the times we put our heads together to solve problems. May he rest in peace.

  12. candleI have always appreciated Joe’s incite, sense of humor and candor. He stepped up so many times and was there whenever we needed him. I will miss the long evening talks and debates we had with the late shift crew, talking about everything from politics to Sci-Fi to social issues. Joe, you are missed. My heart felt thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
    Rest in Peace.

  13. My condolences to April and the entire Carbonara Family.
    Joe, you were a valuable asset to this company. You shared your knowledge and insight with all of us, and that will definitely leave mark without a doubt. The way I perform my daily tasks in the Service Center., and to be organized in the process, was all due to you. I can point out a bunch of things and say “Joe taught me this”. You would never shy away from helping myself or any of the newer technicians whenever we had a problem or a simple question regarding the instruments we were working on. When I first started in the shop on the LPS side, I always remember you telling John that he was late (“GREEK YOU’RE LATE!!) That has stuck with me ever since and I chuckle every time that it pops in my head. But to put it simply Joe, you will be missed here in the shop as well as throughout the company. Rest easy. and God Bless.

  14. candleI will always cherish reminiscing with you the wonderful memories and laughs we had growing up my dear friend. You are so missed Joe. May you rest peacefully. Until we meet again. Love Always Janet

We have known Joe for over 50 years. We will miss our childhood friend so dearly. Thank you Joe for all the laughs and awesome memories Love always The Barbaruolo Family

  17. candleJoe was an extraordinary man with a unique talent for drawing people in like a magnet, making everyone feel instantly at ease. His infectious laughter was a gift; and had a special ability to make me laugh out loud, which is a rare gift in itself!.

    Joe had a knack for guiding those around him with wisdom and insight, always eager to share a nugget of knowledge on any topic. Whether we were discussing music, TV, movies, Star Trek, memories of our youth, or exploring a wild theory, he encouraged us to see the world from new angles, challenging us to think critically and enjoy life a little more.

    What made Joe truly special was his unwavering support—you could always count on him to help with the tough issues, who listened without judgment, mentored us all, and embodied a kindness that made Sartorius a better place.

    Thank you, Joe, for being the remarkable person you were. The world will be a sadder place without you in it.

  18. Joe was always a kind person and always took the time to help me when ever I had questions. Even though I was not a service technician, I always appreciated that he took the time to answer all my questions. I always enjoyed hanging in the shop, talking TV shows, movies, music or whether Greeks next doomsday prediction. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to April and family.

  19. candleHey Joe…I simply want to say, “Thank you”, not only for being a helping hand when I needed assistance…but also for inspiring me with knowledge that helped me to understand and explain some personal things that were unclear to me, I’m really going to miss our sharing of information…so much has happened since you’ve been away…so much new found knowledge I have to share with you…but the day will come, when we will converse and share knowledge once again, Sail-on my Freind and Colleague, you will always be remembered,

    Most Sincerely,

    Harrington Newman.

  20. Joe truly was a great person, and will be missed by all, I will always remember him laughing at my stories.
    May eternal rest be granted unto you, O Lord, let thy perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

  21. candleDear Joe,

    It’s hard to find the right words in moments like this, but I want to honor the incredible person you were. You weren’t just a coworker – you were a friend I could always count on. From day one, we built a bond that felt like family. Your presence lit up the service center, and I’ll never forget the warmth of your smile and the way you’d say, “There she is,” whenever I walked in.

    Seeing you in the hospital was heartbreaking, but knowing you’re now at peace brings me comfort. I’ll always be grateful for the friendship we shared, the support you gave, and the memories that will stay with me forever. You’ve left a mark on our hearts, and things will never be the same without you.

    You’ll always be missed and cherished.

The lessons learned through Joe will last a lifetime. He will be wholeheartedly missed, but never forgotten. Rest easy Joe.

  28. candleIt is really hard for me to write this, I know Joe for a long time, he trained me on moisture analyzers and was helping with any questions I have on the field.

  35. My Condolences to Joes family. Joe was one of the first guys I met when I started in BPS. He was always helpful and would stop anything he was doing for a conversation. I’m going to miss coming into the NY depot to see Joe and converse for a bit. Always a smile from Joe, until the next time…

When you used to say high to Greek when he would come in late LOL, or “Where is Thomas”? Or when Jose would come and say: “Harry, I seen that movie”!
