A beautiful man who quietly walked his path in life and never strayed from his belief and his convictions. He loved his golf, football and cheered for his teams and friends. R.I.P. my friend.

I love this man. He stood up for me when I was at a crossroads. His heart was quiet and unbelievably beautiful, more angel than man. I had given up on life when he urged me to sing.
Thank you Father Christian for caring.
Please don't stop showing the way.
Love, Jennifer Warnes

Missing you so much - looking at you in pictures and watching you in home movies. Your prayers were answered - it was soon and quick. We loved you, I loved you. I don't know how our O'Neill family was so lucky to have you - blessed. Rest in peace, Joe. xoxo
