Dear Fran and family,
My deepest sympathy and condolences for your loss. I will always fondly remember Joe from the time we were co-workers at Sylvania. He was always competent,loyal,ethical,moral,friendly and supportive and a great co-worker! I will remember you and Joe in my prayers and especially pray that he will be accepted into the presence of our Lord quickly.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself … any man’s death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

Joe, God Bless and Protect You, and your family. I have great memories from working with you at Sylvania, and from the bowling league... you were always willing to help out and give pointers to us 'newbies' ! May you rest in peace. Sue (Jameson) Dumas Half Moon Bay, CA

Dear Fran and family,
Our sincerest condolences for your loss. We will miss Joe. We appreciate his dry wit, our Thanksgiving dinners together, that he let me borrow his physics textbooks (they never go out of style) and watching him from across the street, fighting with the sprinkler system.
Know that we are here for you.
Love, Your Neighbors, Anne & Dick
