Not sure what to say?

I am sitting on a bench at Providence College in memory of Joe ( who I did not know). It sits next to a chapel facing the college War Memorial. Memorials always get my attention since I am from a military family and currently serve as a volunteer at Patriot Park which is across from the entrance to the Flight 93 National Memorial. Our mission at Patriot Park is to remember all who served in the military after 9/11. So I think about 9/11 almost every day. Joe and all others left this life too...

Joe was a fantastic person. Smart, funny and just genuinely nice. Sorely missed.

Thinking of you 20 years later, Joe. You shall never be forgotten. May God continue to bless your beautiful family and bring them peace.

Rest in wonderful peace....

Thinking about Joe today. Great work colleague, amazing person and loyal friend. I think frequently about when we worked together in San Francisco. It was great time and always makes me smile. People gravitated to Joe because of his genuine kindness and sense of humor. We always kidded Joe that he could have been Mayor. I really think he could have pulled it off.

Thinking of Joe and his beautiful family today, 17 years later. I was a freshman at UCONN living on the 5th floor of Eddy Hall in 1978 when I first met Joe. He made college life so much fun! I will never forget his kindness and the amazing presence that he had. His spirit will live on forever in all of us who knew and loved him. Joe and his family will always be in my thoughts and prayers . . .

Keeping all of the victims in my thoughts.

woke up today and thought of you Joe. Always will remember that smile and how you made us all laugh.

In Memory
With Honor & Respect.
