Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your painful loss of Joe from this life. I'd like to share that while working at then Cardinal Ritter Institute, I had the pleasure to work with Joe in the first few years he arrived at Catholic Charities. He was very easy to like and highly competent. He will be missed by all.

It was fortunate that a blind date was set up for my mom and dad, for if not my brother, sister and myself would not have been blessed with this wonderful man. My dad was our rock. I don't think that there is a better dad in all of the world than ours. I love you dad, now and forever. I am glad you are no longer in pain. I love you with all of my heart. Love Renee

It was always a pleasure working with Joe at Monsanto. In spite of all the deadlines and pressures, Joe had a way with his wit and laughter to make us all laugh and enjoy life a little more.

Joe and I were in high school together, but aside from several e-mail exchanges in 2005, I had not been in contact with him since then...alas, for leaving further conversations until too late....
