Not sure what to say?

We are saddened to learn of Joe´s passing. We enjoyed many walks on the golf course with the fur babies and Joe´s quiet wisdom. We are so sorry, Cindy and family for your loss. He was a beautiful soul. Our heartfelt sympathy, Richard and Cathy

Dear Callaghan Family, Along with Joan, I too knew Joe through RIYC. Joe was a very nice man with a great sense of humor. And his humble wisdom was very well respected. My sincere condolences and may your memories sustain you at this time of loss. Peace, Kurt

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I had the privilege of being vice commodore when he was commodore at RIYC and dealt with issues such as the impact of Superstorm Sandy on the dock and club. His calm leadership and sense of humor -- he was a good friend and will be missed. My sincere condolences.

Cynthia, and Joe's extended family, so sorry to learn of Joe's passing. Joe and I enjoyed many hours on the tennis courts at Mystic Indoor Tennis. I can't forget travelling to Massachusetts with Joe, to pick up a part for his home vacuum system. Joe's joke-telling abilities nearly had me crying with laughter the whole way! Helping Joe with storm-downed trees at his home in Mystic was an honor. I will miss this wonderful man. May you all cherish the wonderful memories of Joe, as I will.
