Every time I think of JOE, there is a smile on my face.
He made thousands people happy for many years.

I was glad that he was able to attend Sgt. Justin's
"Welcome Back From Iraq" celebration where Joe was honored
for his military service.

We will all miss him but now, he's making everyone
in heaven laugh, I'm sure!

May his soul rest in peace.

Joko was a true clown. He clowned from the heart and it showed. There are many of us out there in the world, that are better performers due to this wonderful man. Rest well my friend, and I will see you again someday!

Joe has been are dear and devoted friend for the past 45 years. He introduced us and was our best man at our wedding. He had the most positive attitude of anyone we ever met, and always so full of love. The world is a sadder place with his passing.
