Joe was a dear friend of my brother Bob's. Although I have not seen Joe since he was at McQuaid I still remember his laugh and kind personality. My sympathy goes to his family. Sue Napier Adrion

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
