Joe was a great friend who would do anything for you. He was generous to a fault, anytime you needed help Joe was there. I will remember him as a hard worker who loved his family. The last time we saw him, his biggest smile came when we talked about when we would go to his house for late night sandwitches and his Mom would open up that terrific kitchen,feed us and make us laugh. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. O'Connel and her great family. I know he is dancing in heaven. Joe will never be forgotten.
