Joe was one of the nicest people I have met in my life. I was a big fan of him Racing At Midstate Speedway in Morris NY. I also know that Joe was a bowler. In fact I got to see him and my Dad when they were at a Bowling Tournament in the Syracuse NY area.
My Sympathy to all of Joe's Family and Friends. He will be missed. Craig Carlson

To the extended family of Joe Norton, a heartfelt set of condolences from me and my wife. It was years ago that Joe served us well as a mechanic. I remember when his grandson Randy was playing basketball for me as a sophomore in high school and how Joe would try to get to some of the games IF he could get off of work a bit early. Warm wishes to all of the family..................

Cheryl - I don't know if you remember me from Amphenol, but I have never forgotten what your father did for me. I discovered after getting to work that I had two bald tires and no money and need them to get home to Oneonta. you told me to go to your dad's garage and I did and he worked with me to pay him next paycheck. I never forgot that kindness.

Saw this online and was shocked to have lost Joe in a car accident. Such a sweet man, we always loved coming "home" to Sidney to see you guys. Joe always had a smile and a hug and kiss to share. We enjoyed our dinners at Roma's, and hearing Joe's stories. Nancy, I am so grateful that you have the support of your family to help you through this sorrowful time. All of Sidney stands with you, and we have you and your family in our prayers. Joe was special, and will live on in our hearts.

I was so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He is a revered figure from my childhood and was an admired friend of my Dad, Edward Meehan's. They solved the problems of the world as Joe would work on his cars and my Dad would visit. We often went to the stock car races to see Joe race and once he took me for a lap around the track, a great thrill for a kid. He was a special character and will be greatly missed by many. Please accept sincerest condolences from me and my Mom, Pearl Meehan.

To Joe's family..Joe left his mark on our area and made this world a better place. I bought my first car from him..many years ago. I loved when he came to the diner for lunch when I was there with Mom. He was a man of few words, but his presence at the table was enough to make me smile. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope the memories will help you get through this sad time. Sidney just won't be the same without him. RIP Joe

I was so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I was in Sidney within the last year and stopped at the trackside diner and Joe was having coffee. I recognized him but what surprised me was he recognized me by saying " I know who your are Patty Dean". He hadn't seen me in 30 years or more. He was always so helpful to myself and my parents on Riverside. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Nancy and Family so very very sorry to hear about Joe . He was a great guy and seldom would I drive in the Sidney area and not see Joe someplace and would always have a wave . I will really miss seeing him and that wave from now on . I always loved to stop at the shop on riverside years ago to look at the photos on the wall and whatever race car that was sit'n in the garage and then listen to him talk about the races . Smokey Joe was a fixture in the Town of Sidney and area and will be missed by so many . I am sure he is now in Heaven at a race track and they have added him and the 3x to the line up as a driver / car owner with all the other greats up there that we lost before him . prayers and may God bless to all of you at this sad time

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Joe....I can remember going to his gas station with Dad since I was a young kid..In my head he was almost a part of our extended family...Several times I saw Joe in Nancy;s Trackside Diner and he always recognized me and we hugged and talked and he would always ask me to stop by his house and visit, but sadly that never happened..Joe was a glowing light still burning as a symbol of the Old Sidney so many of us remember....My Dad and he were good friends going way back..I shall miss this man and his passing is kind of an end of an era for so many have passed and the new Sidney has taken over...May this wonderful and loved man rest in peace and stay in our souls until we all meet again in God's great Kingdom....Luv ya' Joe.....

I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed by so many people. Especially me. Over the years he was known to me as "pop". He would stop every day at work to visit. He loved talking about NASCAR. He loved his cats. He even fed a stray cat every day so it wouldn't die. A very caring and loving man. Rest In Peace "Smokey" Joe.

Joe was an old school mechanic and race car driver. I recall him complaining that computers/sensors in cars would force him out.
I interviewed Joe for the Bowling Hall of Fame. He wasn't a great bowler but always sponsored teams. His acceptance speech took 10 seconds...he wasn't a public speaker but he was a public celebrity.
Condolences to all the family. He's once again driving top speed in the old 3x car. Rest In Peace.
