Not sure what to say?

It's been a year since you're gone, and things have not been the same. Your smile and humor are greatly missed.

Joe came into my famlies life almost 27 years ago when we needed him. We were sad due to divorce & Joe brightened up our lives. My daughters used to put makeup nali polish & all kind of stuff on him & never got mad, took it all in stride.A few years later my granddon came along & Joe was his "BUDDY", slept on the floor with him & Alex just loved that "Buddy" of his. Just three weeks ago Joe slept on the floor with Alex. WE HAVE WONDERFUKL MEMORIES OF JOE & he will truly be missed, no one...

Diane and Harry,
You are in our prayers. Joe and his vibrant personality and kind ways will be missed.

Helms Jr. for his dedication and service to the citizens of Philadelphia. The passing of Joe will be broadcast to our 3,423 members shortly and we would like to extend our sincere condolences to his family. His absence from our ranks will be deeply missed by the remaining members of Philadelphia's Finest who were fortunate to have served with him...

Forever in our hearts. God be with everyone as we join together to honor the life of our dear friend. Carry our love for you into the eternal life.
