To Joes Family,
I worked with Joe many years ago at LILCO. I was 18 or 19 years old at the time. I liked him very much. He was a very good and respectful man. He had a Great Smile. He made a very positive impression on me. Over the years Id often think of him in only the fondest terms. He helped me when I was new on the job. God rest his soul.

Joe was my dear friend for many years. He would take the time to say hello and talk to me when I worked at Waldbaum's and whenever I went to Maria Regina Church, I would see Joe. He would sit and talk to me about whatever was troubling me and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He was always kind and nice to me and always had a big smile, a joke and/or a hug. R.I.P. my friend.
