Pat & Family,
The mass was a loving tribute to Joe. The readings were beautiful; especially the letter Colleen wrote from the the "grand-girls" & Patty's eulogy. Patty's words were so moving... she shared some very funny recollections of "Papa Joe".
May your faith & the support of loved ones, give you strength.
You have a very close family unit & your strong ties, will help you through each day... We know Joe is at peace, with restored health now, guiding you all from above. You remain close in our thoughts & prayers. With love & sympathy, Today, Frank, Benjamin & Maxine & om & Jim - God Bless You...

To Joe's family; Joe was a great guy and helpful to a lot of people that needed good and honest help with their cars and in a world full of people waiting in line to take advantage of you he was a blessing. He spoke lovenly about his family and his grandchildren were his great joy. the world and Southie will be a lesser place without him.
