RIP

May you rest in peace Joe. Sue & family my sincere sympathies. Joe I hope you go onto have fun and make everyone laugh the way you did here. We will miss you on the 3rd of July and St Patty's day dinner! Love you always!

Rest in Peace Uncle Joe. You will be missed. Thoughts and Prayers Sue, Linda and Pat and families.

Grampa,
Some of my best memories growing up were with you and Sue in New Hampshire. I remember us talking to the truckers on the CB on the way there and late nights playing cards with your friends. You taught me how to bluff when my hand was terrible! You always took everything in stride, you even laughed when I wrecked your snowmobile, even though I knew you were mad. I hope there is an endless supply of beer and peanuts for you in heaven!

"Those we love don't go away,

My sincere condolences. May the God of all comfort sustain you during these hard times.

So very sorry. May God comfort and keep you in His loving care.

Love you uncle joe

Joe, you were the best father-in-law in the world. You were quick to laugh and always welcomed me into your home. You will be missed by so many. Love, Judy
