Not sure what to say?

The greatest mentor, and a man who had a positive influence on everyone and everything he touched. He was special beyond words and will never be forgotten. Rose

A wonderful friend and a great role model for lawyers on giving back. Kevin.

I had the great pleasure of first knowing Joe at Boston College High School. He was a year ahead of me there. We were both on the debating team, and some of my fondest memories of BC High are traveling to different schools in Boston and debating with and against Joe. I never, ever won a debate against Joe, but I always learned a lot and he was always very gracious in victory.

We reconnected when I went to Cornell to get a Ph.D. in physics. We traveled together back and forth to...

joe and I graduated from high school and college together, and we participated in archaeological excavations in England. He became an amazing lawyer, and a man devoted to justice in a really meaningful way. We kept up with each other over the years, even tough we never knew each others families. When he was on the Board of the Brooklyn Museum I was on the Board of the Plains Art Museum. He was always there to talk to, even on the morning of 9/11.

I know his passion for justice...

The greatest man I have ever known.
May you rest in peace my friend.
My thoughts and prayers are with Christine, Amy, Caitlin and Ian.
