Michelle, I am truly sorry to hear about your Dad. It has been a long road for him, but you have been there every step of the way. Try to find comfort in the fact that he is no longer suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Joe at John Carroll. His generosity to all of us on 2nd shift was unrivaled. He quickly became a friend to us all, and not just a coworker. "Joey Snacks" will be missed!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. - Joe will be missed-not just him but his crazy sense of humor. We will never forget driving with him and his idea for a new main dish (road kill stew). We will remember him as a great friend and a Viking forever.

Joe - my Target trips will never be the same. I will miss seeing you at "Manor Care Beach". But I know you are in paradise now. Love, Jen-daughter.
