I'll never forget ya Joe. Sgt Wood USMC 2nd LAR Bravo.

My heartfelt condolences on your loss Joe and Barb. I pray the Lord comforts you both and minimizes your sorrow. Joey was a proud and brave young man in my view, and will be remembered and honored by my entire family. May God rest his soul and grant him eternal peace. Sincerely,

Mr. Lorek,
It is with great sorrow that I write this. I did not hear of this until last night so I was unable to come to the hours. I do remember your son although I only met him a few times such a long time ago. I'd like to thank you for talking to me a few weeks ago when I was going through the loss of my son. It's such a hard world we live in. I'd like you to know that you were a great influence upon me. I remember being one of the only kids in your homeroom that stood and said...

To the family of Joe,
I don't know if you remember me or not, but Joe helped me get through a very tough time when my fiance Lee Deal was killed in Iraq. I was in Cleveland mourning the death of another friend of ours Mark Smykowski. It just seems like so much senselessness. He was a good person, and he will never be forgotten. We will miss you Joe.

To The Family of Joe Lorek,
I am so sorry for your loss. i remember talking to Joe online all the time and he would always have something interesting to say~whether it be about the marines or about life at Mentor high when we went to school together. he will be truly missed by all and i know that he is with god in his house. my prayers go out to youand everyone who was a part of Joe's Life

My Dearest Joe....
I love and miss you so much sweetheart !!! It was soooo hard to see you today being laid to rest.
Your kind words last week when we last spoke and you telling me I was like a second mom to you meant so much. Then after our usual 2 hour phone call you said " love you mom see you soon" I will miss my 3-4 am calls from you :) All the things we talked about.
You will be forever in my heart Joe!!! I love you dearly my sweet loving friend.
I will never forget you my...

To my family,

I remember being so excited that Joe would be in my kindergarten class on that first day when we got to meet everyone. I felt popular because I knew someone else in my class, and I don't feel popular often. It's funny that of everything, the most vivid memory I have of Joe is fighting over the same toy car at playtime in that class. He and I would eye each other suspiciously, waiting for Mrs McEndough (i think) to release us to play time, at which point we'd run -...

Dear Family and Friends,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I went to junior high & Graduated from Mentor with Joe. He was always the nicest boy & so cute. Someone so special will never be forgotten.
With Sincerest Sympathy,

To the Lorek family, our deepest sympathy is with you all at this time of grief, may you all find sympathy that Joe is now at peace. Thank you Joe for all you did for our United States, may god rest your soul.
