I am so saddened about the loss of Joe. I met Joe and Mel through my ex-husband many years ago. Although we haven't been in close contact for many years, I would run into Joe at my son's baseball games in Eau Gallie. My boys Grant and Gabe Stevanus loved Joe, as did I. My mother always thought he was "so handsome!" Our thoughts, prayers and love go to Joe's family, friends and loved ones....we will miss him....

Hi Ariana and Matty,
Your dad was a great guy. We had many fun times together. He loved to walk you guys around the block in your strollers when you were little and he'd always stop to talk. He was also a great friend. If you needed help with anything he was always there to lend a hand. We know he had some issues(don't we all), but he sure loved you both dearly. Don't ever forget that. We'll sure miss him.

Hey Ariana & Matt,
I remember your dad always being very happy and nice to us kids. He would always joke around and make an effort to talk with us. I always really liked him and was sad to hear of his passing. I hope that over time his death becomes less painful and that you can take comfort in the memories that you have and those that others share. Life is short, so always remember to cherish everything you have.

I was very sad to hear of my friend Joe's unexpected passing. I was lucky enough to have known and been friends with him since the late 80's, we met playing basketball, and always had some good times. It's tough to come up with the proper words...but I want to send out my heart felt condolences to his mom, dad, brother, daughter and son. God be with you all in this tough time.
