Good luck on your new adventurers. As mentioned, don't be a stranger. Has been fun having you around.

Thank you for you help over the last nine years. We never would have made it this long without it.

Good luck, Joe! Sorry to see you guys go, but know it's for the right reasons. Thanks for the advice you gave us when we were first getting started. Wish we could have met up more often than we did, it was always fun

Hope to make it up to go fishing sometime! Good luck, my friend!! And give our best to Jan, your father and her mother.

Due to circumstances, beyond our control, Jan and I have made the decision to end our expediting career. My Dad, needs help, Jan's Mom may soon need it as well. Add to that a number of other factors and it's time to leave.

We have a lot to do over the next few weeks, job interviews, looking into selling the truck, etc.

We will miss the many friends we have made in our nine years in this business. It was always fun to meet up with those we knew while out there.

I want to thank everyone in here who have helped us over the years, we could have not made it without your help.

We are looking forward to the new challenges that await us and will be able to draw on skills we learned in this business to help us succeed in whatever we take on in the future.

Wow, I'm shocked but I understand. May God bless you as you make these life changing moments. Please stay apart of the Expediters Online family. At the children's home I lived in Xenia, Ohio we have shirts that say we are family. Maybe we can get some shirts made for all the Expedite Expo that say. Expediters Online "We are Family". Good luck to you and Jan. Just remember you're still part of the EO family and always will be.

Diane and I wish you and Jan the best, Joe. We are glad we got to meet you on the road and visit you and your father in your home. You spoke then about your plan to take care of him when the time came and now you are. That is an impressive commitment to family. Now that you are home, may you have more time to hunt and fish.

One of the few things we are going to miss about this business is meeting up with the many friends we have made out here.

And maybe matching 1979 Pittsburgh Pirate style ball caps? Ah, now I have that song running on a loop through my head.

It is nice to leave any career on your own terms. Good luck to both of you! If you ever decide to get back into expediting, your years of experience driving a straight truck should help qualify you for a gig in a van.
