He Made Everybody Laugh
Joseph Holland could always poke fun at his life. He would be the first one to joke about his golf scores, his in-laws and his newborn boy. And his zingers, delivered just right, were a constant source of laughter for his family and friends. "He could get everybody to laugh," said his mother-in-law, Ellen Mahoney. "He was insightful and quick-witted."

Mr. Holland, 32, started working in finance after college, and later became a broker for Carr Futures. He lived with his wife, Kathy, and their son, Joseph IV, in Glen Rock, N.J. Though Mr. Holland saw humor in most things, he was serious about being a father. He was in the delivery room when his son was born on Sept. 1, and even cut the umbilical cord himself. He could not wait to pass out cigars to his co-workers. "He was really looking forward to being a dad," said his mother-in-law.

My family is originally from Manhattan, I now live in the midwest. Joseph and I were both born in 1968 and I attended Good Shepard school through 2nd grade, so maybe I did meet him once in my young life. My mom lost touch with many of her cousins through the years, especially after we moved from the east coast, so we too(her...

Joe, man, I think of you often. I wonder what your son is doing now. I'll never forget the laughs. You're a good man, the world is poorer without you.
