Joe was my older brother, I have been so uplifted by all the amazing things both patients and fellow co-workers and fellow tennis, running, and hiking friends have shared with us at this trying time of his untimely death. He was a most loving and caring brother. He was always there as my medical consultant, as my brilliant brother, and as a dear thoughtful and caring brother. I will continue to care for his wife and son as I promised him when he told me that he had brain cancer 18 months...

He was a great doctor for me personally, I can't imagine how I would have navigated rheumatoid arthritis all these years without him. He was an amazingly caring and kind doctor to my children. What a loss for his family and his patients.
