I knew Joe. He covered the MCAD industry for us on occasion, and I spent quality time with him every Spring at the COFES meeting in Arizon. I was shocked and saddened by his death and feel a sense of great loss. I will miss him.

Here's just one of the many letter's we've received at MCADCafe about Joe:

I am really devastated about hearing the news about Mr. Greco. I got an email from his wife Heather and it blew me away. I was stunned, shocked and litterally devastated upon hearing the news. He was my friend, mentor, and guidance counseler in the world of MCAD, AEC and CAE. We corresponded almost daily about the happenings in this world of CADD. Such a young man and so talented that he inspired me to learn at my old age. It was our dream together to get these softwares into the hands of youngsters. In his memory, I will try my best to continue "his" work.
