We had the pleasure of Joe's company in Chicago two years ago.
He had the biggest smile after dancing with Lorraine at Meg's wedding. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Joe. From all your relatives in Canada.

I remember Joe and his family comming to Chicago to visit us. Every few years they came or we went to Boston to visit them. We all sort of grew up together. When Joe lived here in Chicago while going to school we were able to see him a lot more. Joe will be missed by me and my family.

As a child, I always remembered Cousin Joe coming to my grandmother Babe's house. Just two years ago, he came to Chicago to be there when I got married. What a sad loss, Cousin Joe, you will always have a spot in my heart and will be greatly missed.

A most wonderful friend has left us. Joe was the catalyst for so many great memories and moments that we shared for over 25 years.
There is now an emptiness that is difficult to shed. He will be sorely missed.
