Not sure what to say?

It has been one year. I keep thinking this heartbreak will get better and maybe someday it will. I have been reminded that when we lose someone we love we must learn not to live without them but to live with the love they left behind. I will love you forever my brother. Until we meet again. #1 sister

I am saddened to just now hear the news of Joe's passing. Joe did a few projects at our home last year and his work ethic, attention to detail, and expertise were all appreciated. He was old school which is one of the things we welcomed. RIP Joe, and may your memory be eternal.

I replay our last phone conversation over and over again in my mind all the time. The last thing my Dad said to me on Friday, September 30th was: “Call me anytime baby, I love talking to you.” If I had known at the time that was going to be the last time I talked to him, I would’ve said so much more. I would’ve told him how much I appreciated him and all the sacrifices he made for my sister and I growing up. I would’ve told him that he was my hero and that I looked up to him as the ultimate...

Joe had such integrity. I live in a house he told me he used to play on the next to. Built in 1880, of course it had knob and tube. I had different electrician out. None could give me an estimate, because they just didn't know. They'd have to go through walls. I'd need a contractor, etc. It could 20-30 thousand dollars. I was beside myself. Then Joe came over and said, "I know these houses. It'll take me a day or two. We don't need to go through walls." He gave me a very reasonable quote and...

Joe was an exceptional human being. I hope you find a way to hold him close even though you have to let him go. He will always be in my heart

Our hearts break as we try to come to terms with the sudden and unexpected loss of you. There is a huge void that your passing has left in our lives and for the grief that no one can help lessen. But grief is the price we pay for love. Such a high cost but not something we would ever change. There is some comfort in that. And you were so loved. Rest in peace my brother. I will love you forever. Until we meet again. #1 sister

To meet Joe is to like him. His professionalism, knowledge, and calm demeaner were incomparable. It was always a joy to have Joe on the project. He will be deeply missed by the Platt team.

I am really sorry to hear about Joey's passing. I grew up in Westford and my older brother Bob was friends with Joey so he and few of Bob's friends were a fixture in my (happy) childhood in Westford. He was always a very nice, friendly and upbeat person. May Joey rest in peace and his memory be a blessing. JP Miskell Grene, Ballybricken, Limerick, Ireland.

Such sad news to hear about Joe's passing. He did some of our electrical work over the years. Always pleasant to work with. Sorry for the family's loss. Nashoba Heating & Cooling, Inc Dan & Pete Mongan
