Not sure what to say?





Joe, not a day goes by that I don't think about our time together. I still think that I can pick up the phone, call and you will answer. I really do miss you brother.

Joe, It so hard to believe that you are not in my life anymore. I last talked with you on December 31, 2014. Yet, today it still feels like I can pick up the phone and talk with you. I don't think your leaving will ever become a reality for me. I write this today on the passing of Pam, so welcome her into your arms. I love you Brother so much.

It's hard to believe 6 years have gone by. What a blessing it was to spend Thanksgiving week with you. Who would have ever guessed the lord would call you home less then 2 months later. You're forever in my memories buddy.

I met Joe when he played at the Commodore withthe Ventura's. I always danced right under where he was playing. Our paths intertwined many times throughout our 50 years of a very loving friendship. He once wrote me that we'd never loose touch as long as he was here. I will always carry you in my heart. My deepest condolences to his girls, who he loved so much, along with their families. May he Rest In Peace.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. I personally will always remember you driving me to the hospital after I fell and cracked my head open on your playground...I think I was 5 years old. Thank you for taking such good care of me. I was also very grateful that I got to see my Uncle Joe a few years back when he came to Buffalo with my cousin Gina. He was a great man and will be missed.

A legend, a friend and a brother whom I learned a lot from. I'm thankful and happy we had the opportunity to finally play music together even for the short time it was. Keep practicing Joe so one day we can pick up were we left off.

Love,
