My deepest condolences to the entire Furno family. I had the pleasure of meeting Joe a few years ago threw Chris and was saddened by the news of his passing. He spoke fondly and proudly of his family and am sure he will be forever missed. God bless.

Carl and I are so sorry for your loss. Joe will be missed by many people. He was a very genuine person and one of the nicest people we have ever known. We had a lot of fun riding ATVs with him. You are both in our thoughts and prayers. May your memories bring you comfort in this time of sorrow.
