Not sure what to say?

Kathy.....I don't get the newspaper but Mary Paula sent me an email with Joe's obituary attached. I was so sorry to read that. I have never met Joe but in reading all the comments here I can see that he was a pretty special guy. I share your sorrow in my heart and am thinking about you and your family. May God bless all of you and give you moments of peace amidst all of your tears.
With much affection,
Beth

We were very sad to hear about Joe. We fondly remember many happy times from Berryhill Street. It was nice to see him again at a McDevitt game this past fall.
With our sympathy,
Shelly and Stefan Bright

Kathy... Carolyn and I extend our deepest sympathy and are devastated by Joe's passing... So hard to believe and am still waiting for him to walk across the street and talk my ear off while I'm trying to get work done... Always told him he needed to find a job... Joe was a great and true friend to me and my family... You both treated Lydia like your own and we are truly great full... I luv him and will miss him terribly... I will miss the stories, the racing tips that never worked when...

I have known Joe and his family all my life, Joe was a great friend.

Dear O'Brien Family,

Grateful for opportunity to talk with Joe at Saint Joseph reunion.
Treasure the memory.
Express sympathy.

Peace,
Andy

My deepest sympathy to Joe's family. He was a wonderful person. He will be missed by all his friends in Renovo.

The O'Brien were very close to my family. Joe's father and my father worked together for many years. Joe would always have a kind word and a great smile. Although there were 11 years difference in our ages, he never hesitated to say hello and ask about my parents. May God Bless you Joe.

I will miss Joe. When I came home from the Service in 1964 a few of the graduates of St. Joe, like Ralph Teti, Joe Paoletti and Joe and I would meet at the Elks Club on Sunday morning for "communion". Afterwards, we would go over to Gianopolis's Restaurant for breqakfast. Joe was a good friend and a wonderful Father. Walk With Angels, Joe.

So sorry to hear of your loss. i will keep you and your loved ones in my thoughts and prayers.
