Joe was a Wonderful Man with the Best Personality. He was always so warm and friendly and loved by all who knew him. We lost a great man and he will be missed terribly. Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to his family. May all the Wonderful Memories help you through this sad time. We Love You Janis.

Joe was a kind and wonderful man and police officer. I was proud to call him a friend. Lt.Paul Horgan retired.

Had the honor and pleasure of working with Joe for several years. He was a class act and an officer whom the younger guys looked up to.

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing.We had a long history. He and my husband entered the army together, leaving from Malden Station. Over the years we shared many dance nights at the local halls. My sympathy to all of the family. Sister Mary and I were classmates. Sincerely, Mary O'Leary
