I'm proud to say Joe was my friend.
We went to McQuaid together and stayed in touch through the years.
From many enjoyable conversations with Joe I will remember him as a witty, intelligent, American Irish man who really loved his family.

I was Joe's roommate for job training with Combined Life back in July and August. My deepest sympathies to his family. He was a wonderful man. He will definitely be missed but I will always remember everything I learned from him in those 2 short weeks.

i went to Mcquaid with Joe and we became good friends while he worked at the richmind grill. Although I have not seen him in while, I still have fond memories of all the good times we had. May God save a barstool for Joe in heaven
