Dear Susan and Family,

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Joe worked for me as a flight instructor in Stow, MA - he was a talented pilot and a valued employee of Langwell Helicopters. He quickly made friends with the other instructors and was quite popular with all of his students. I also thought of him as a good friend. After he left Langwell, he kept in touch by phone when he was flying A-Stars in Alaska and then E.M.S. in Ohio - I am very sorry for your loss - he will be greatly missed.

I shared a room with Joe at Helicopter School in Concord CA in 1993. He was always in good spirits, relaxed, positive and fun to be around, proving to be a good friend. He was naturally gifted in the Helicopter and learnt quickly.

God Bless you Joe and your family.
Rest in Peace.

So very sorry to hear about Joe's tragic accident. I got to know him when he was doing his cleaning business. He couldn't have been nicer and always went out of his way to help my clients who were in the middle of moving. What a great guy and what a sad loss!!

Joe worked with me at Herb Chambers Infiniti I am devastated with the passing of our friend and companion. Joe would visit and call every few weeks after he left the dealership to pursue his dream. Whenever we as a family gathered Joe was always in our midst and he was a special member of our family. While in our company his love and generous spirit captivated his friends and clients and we will honor his memory forever.
He was a special friend of mine and we shared wonderful stories of life's adventures and future plans when he drove me home to Quincy.
My prayers and the prayers of Quincy Point Congregational Church are extended to his family and friends as we both grieve and celebrate his life and our time together.

My wife Carol sends a special blessing to Susan and the children.

Their future, we pray will be filled with delightful memories of their loving husband and father. Every journey they make and task they endeavor will be graced with their memory of Joseph's love and care. Hand in hand forever in pursuit of their dreams.

To Joe & family...
The world has lost a special person in Joey (he'll always be Joey to me!) and you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I find some comfort knowing that he's with Rosemary again and he's not alone. It's not fair to those who are left behind but as long as you keep telling stories and sharing memories he will always be alive. With Deepest Sympathies and Loving Prayers... Love "Bella"
