Just learned of Joe's passing and am very saddened. I first met Joe in the 1970's during the early years of my employment at Xerox in Webster, NY. Joe was an amazing dept. mgr. in receiving/shipping/warehousing operations. He set high statards for excellence and pushed us to do our best. He did not hesitate to get in someone's face and threaten to kick their ass if he felt they weren't doing their job! One of his traits I found remarkable was his ability to write, for his manner of speech (which could often contain many expletives and "Yoo's guys") belayed this ability. His personnel reviews were exceptionally well written, and his written procedures explained what needed to be done in a clear & consice way. Joe promoted me to supervisor in the summer of 1979. I can honestly say we were never close, but he taught me a lot. I will ALWAYS remember Joe Romano,
a great man!
Sincerely & with deepest regrets for your loss,
Carl "Pete" Featherly (33yrs. at Xerox)
