I was just informed of Joe's passing. I worked with him at the fire dept. for 8 years and knew him to be a man of great character, a loving husband, and a very, very, dedicated father. Joe, your presence will be missed more than words can describe, you were, and are a light to all those fortunate enough to have known you........

Joe I will never forget our great fishing trips. My best memories will be the scouting events we shared with our children. Finally I will always appreciate the dinners and support you and Patti gave me during the hard time in my life.

Ricky just called us to let us know about Joe's passing. There are no words to express how much Joe has affected our family. From Tiger Cubs, as my Assistant Cub Leader to Assistant Scoutmaster in Boy Scouts. All the songs we sang, the tours we enjoyed, the zest for life that Joe shared woth so many.

Our heartfelt prayers and thoughts have always been with you all, but particularly now. May you find peace in the wonderful Legacy which Joe leaves behind. And may you feel the wisper of his wings in your lives.

With great love and gratitude for the life Joe shared with us all.
