As a reporter I spoke with Joe occasionally in his capacity as a county coroner. As a pastor I conducted a few funerals at Riley Mortuary. On those limited occasions I found him to be friendly and professional. Later, when I would see him in places like Stewart's, he would greet me by name as though we were best of friends. I'll always remember him as a kind and gentle soul.

As a pastor, I met Joe only a couple of times when I conducted funerals at Riley Mortuary. As a reporter, I spoke with him occasionally in his capacity as coroner. And yet when I saw him casually in places like Stewart's, he greeted me by name as though we were best of friends. That was very special to me. I will always remember him as a kind and gentle soul.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

Sorry to read about Joe's passing. I knew Joe from officiating basketball and also thru CBA where I drove a team bus for a number of years running into Joe a number of times.Joe was a super nice guy who will be sorely missed. I will keep Joe in my prayers and may he rest in peace.
