Dear Pat and family. I was away last week and sadly came home to this very sad news..
Joe was by far a PERFECT GENTLEMAN and ever so kind. Always a smile, a hug and something nice to say . A Camp Haler , like my dad, I will forever hold fond memories of him .
May you all be comforted knowing you had a wonderful husband , dad and grandfather.
Fondly

Patty I can't tell you how sad I am to hear of My good friend Joe's passing. I have lost a truly great friend who was more like a brother to me. May GOD BLESS you and your family on this great loss of a great man who accomplished so much in his life. He was truly a self made man who always thought of his family first.. I have so many great memories of him, going all the way back to the South End as kids. There were so many things we did together , yes sometimes in minor trouble, playing sports, but thru it all I knew he was always there for me and I had a good friend who had my back. I will always keep. Him in my thoughts and prayers. Again I am so sad for you and your family.

Dear Patty and family, I just found out this morning of Joe's passing. I want you all to know that you have my deepest sympathy. I didn't see Joe very much but on the occasions where I did I enjoyed talking to him. He always would tell my I smile a lot. I could always have a good conversation with Joe. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless your family.
