I was so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I knew him at UMass Amherst in the late 70s and worked on the Collegian with him.
I was always impressed by his passion for and expertise in the news industry. Especially when he got a coveted Boston Globe summer internship!

My Condolences to the Joe's family and friends. We were acquaintances in High School but got to know him in College. He was a great guy, always smiling. To this day, whenever I hear the Beach Boys, I think of Joe.

Marian and Quinlan Family, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Joe. We ran track together at Lowell High and were freshman roommates at UMass Amherst. Joe was always a good friend with upstanding character. Joe's smiling face in that old gray station wagon that he drove in high school (before a lot of us had cars) is fixed in my memory. After reading about his remarkable life, I regret that we didn't reconnect in our later years. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
