Not sure what to say?

Joe: Dude, I am so sorry to hear of this. Was a great pleasure hanging together in Tony's wedding band all those years. You were an original thinker, player and a great source of much needed sarcasm during too many lousy weddings that we had to endure. I'll never forget you going after "Caesar Romero" in the middle of a song while he was going after you. Rest in peace, buddy.

Love you and miss you. Eternal rest grant upon TJ, O Lord, and May perpetual light shine upon him, and May his soul Rest In Peace. Amen.

It's only rock and roll but I like it!!!

Joey! I miss you my friend. I knew you since we were teens. I know you are jamming in heaven and Dawn is listening and you are laughing!

Joe, I tried to call you tonight...we hadn't talked in a while and I wanted you to know that I had moved...I really wanted to talk with you. When I got the message that your number was not working, I went on line and found the news...and now I'm crying. You were so full of life, I thought you'd always be there. I'm sorry I missed you.
I love you, Joe.
I hope we meet again...I think we will.
Love,

Wow, utter shock. Sadly comes as I was looking for him to reconnect. I only just found out this very morning 12/28/16.
May God rest your beautiful soul my dear old friend.

Had the pleasure to practice and hang out with Joe at Five Towns College back in the early 80's. What a great sense of humor! Had some very funny moments indeed. Very sad to hear of his passing. Rest in peace my friend.
