Joe's Dad drove us to our induction on March 31, 1966, Joe joining the U.S. Navy, and me joining the U.S. Marine Corps. Joe served on the riverboats in Vietnam, and I fondly remember him from both before and after our military service. Rest in peace, Brother. Prayers.

Please accept our prayers and sympathy. Joe was a great guy - thoughtful, intelligent, introspective - and he had a great sense of humor. Joe's dad, Joe, Sr. drove us to the old Boston Army Base on the day we were inducted into the military - Joe into the U.S. Navy, and me into the U.S. Marine Corps. We went our separate ways, and both ended up in Vietnam. The last time I saw Joe was at the rededication of "the corner," Charles St. and the Fellsway, in honor of John Waden, one of many of our friends who was killed in Vietnam, or has died since coming home. Joe had not changed from when we were in our teens and early twenties. He had the same mannerisms and the same clever sense of humor as always. We are privileged to have known Joe and call him friend.
Rest in Peace, Joe.
Nancy and Stan

Whenever my thoughts have wandered back toy childhood in Malden, one of my friends I always think of and wish that I could reunite with was Joey. I have so many great memories of our times together in the linden projects and especially st Joseph's school. He was a great friend and I am saddened by his passing and regret not seeing him again. My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.
