We never truly lose the ones we love.. . we feel their warmth in the rays of the sun, we see their smiles in the twinkling stars, and we fell their touch in the brush of a breeze. May you be comforted by the beautiful memories that will always be in your thoughts and the special love that will always be in your heart. Wishing you peace to bring comfort and courage to face the days ahead.

To Joe's family,
I was Joe's freshman year roommate at Lawrence Academy. Joe had a tremendous positive influence on me and I was solooking forward to seeing him at our upcoming 50th reunion next month. I am very saddened to learn of his passing. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Joe,
You will be greatly missed by the Harvard Club of Boston. Your presence at board of director meetings over many years was always impactful and of great value. Yet, it was your gracious humanity and love for your family and friends that I will always remember and treasure.

Love You Daddy
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
