My wife and I had the honor of having Joe sing at our wedding 16 years ago. Having heard him sing at church, we both knew he would be perfect. It was his first time singing at a wedding and he was so nervous, but as expected, he did a phenomenal job. Through the years, we didn't get as many opportunities to see Joe, but when we did, he always commented about the wedding and how happy he was to have sang for us. He will be missed by our family - his smiling face at St. Michaels church was always great to see. Rest in Peace friend.

Early on, Joe was the kid who made friends easily. He had a wide range of friends - all races, religions, nationalities. He excelled in school and in sports in his teens. He fell in love early, and devoted himself to his family, his church, and his constant challenges. He was a leader in a very real way - both on the job, and away from it. His life was tough and while cut short, he made a real difference.
