Joe, we certainly could use your sense of humor at this time! I cannot imagine what kind of face-mask you would dream up... fried dough?? You are sorely missed by all of us!

I JUST thought of Joe, again, today. He had the best perspective on life, "Did anyone die? If not, don't worry about it...." Joe, you are sorely missed. -Rebecca & Eric LeBlanc

We are very saddened by Joe's passing. Joe was always so good to everyone he knew but particularly kind to my two sisters, Cheryl and Barbie. He would stop by on summer nights and sit with us on the patio and always kept us laughing. He would give you the shirt off his back when he saw a need someone had. He was a gentleman and a gentle man.
He will be sorely missed!

Joe always helped me put things in perspective, he just didn't have time for sweating the little stuff. He was always ready to lend a hand. He and my husband bonded over their UPS work-life and football. I don't think we ever stopped laughing when we were together. Joe, you are sorely missed.

Joe was always the life of the party. Everyone enjoyed being with Joe and calling him a friend. He always had a smile, was nice to everyone and will be greatly missed. We will say some prayers for Joo.
