Lisa and Family,
I just heard the news and I can't put into words how bad I truly feel for you and your family. I'm so thankful to have had the good times and laughs and the memories of Joe. It's been years since I've been in contact to catch up on new things and laugh about some of the old stunts. But please know Joe made a huge impact on the people that are fortunate enough to be able to say he was a friend at anytime during our lives.

A new soul a gift to us this day
A simple request with us do stay.
The time we get is much too brief,
Our pleas are headed without relief.
Our hearts now fill with joy and tears
Knowing we had too few years. Taken from us by the wings of love to join the Angels in the heaven's above.
Souls long past are there to meet
This brand New Angel with arms do greet. From your place aloft
now with Angels blessed.
Forever in an external peaceful rest.
The soul we lost is high above An Angel now watching over us with love.

My condolences go to Joey's children, and my love goes to his daughter, Heather. Words can not express the grief that we feel when we lose a parent. You need to hold the good memories close to your heart and know that your dad will never leave you. He is your angel now.

We feel the loss of a great friend. Family really. We had been so close for so long. Our families spent so much time together. Wives best friends and husbands best friends. That does not happen often and we feel lucky to have the fun times we had with Joey and his family! We always felt comfortable with his family. All the holidays,birthdays, everything...wonderful memories. We will miss Joey very much. We hope the family knows even though we are not there our hearts are and it provides some comfort that we share in your loss. We loved him very much. Love outlasts life!
