Just found out about Joe from a co-worker of myself and Joe. I enjoyed alot of hikes with Joe over the years. His conversations were very enjoyable and he could always make me laugh. My thoughts and prayers go out to Loretta and family.

Heartfelt condolences to Loretta and family. Joe was the consummate poet.At the flower shop where I worked, we kept copies of the wonderful messages he included in the flowers he sent to Loretta. They were the height of romanticism.

Loretta, Ian, Chelsea and Liam,
Tom and I were so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. He was a terrific neighbor and such an avid history buff. We enjoyed talking with him. I'll miss hearing the Beatles music coming from the house. Thoughts and prayers to all.

Loretta and Family,

My sincere sympathy to you and your family.
I enjoyed working along side Joe for several years. He was a fascinating person with a plethora of knowledge. Joe loved to hike, and freely shared his hiking maps with anyone who wanted them. He was a private person, but he would mention his son, Ian, who was his pride joy.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
