I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Joe. Even though he walked so fast everywhere he went, he took time out to say "Hello, how are you doing." He was one of the classiest and nicest men at the postal service.
I send my sincerest condolences and love your way.

Dear Margo, I was saddened to hear of your loss. I met Joe a few times while we worked together at Butler. I loved to listen to you talk of your sweet family. You were a true example to me of love and caring in your job and with your family. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. With sincere love and respect. Jean Marie Lozano

Margo's Final Tribute to Joe
Dear Family and Friends,
Joe loved life!
I know that we have lost a dear husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend.
I have Joe’s heart and he has mine. I am very saddened and scared about Joe’s passing, but I know that his earthly body was too tired to continue on.
Anna and Marisa have never and will never ever give up on their Dad. They have been my voice of reason and my strength to stay strong.

Joe,
Thank you. Thank you for living your life with spontaneity, sincerity and lightheartedness, for sharing your extraordinary life wholly with us. Thank you for nurturing, caring, and providing for us with steadfast dedication, a warm heart and ever-open mind and arms.
You have a profound sense of what is right and wrong; one of the most honest men we will ever know, you were also the strongest, bravest, and most selfless person in our lives. You were always...

Thank you so much for keeping us updated on Joe's condition during this difficult time for you and the family. I had hoped that the most recent news was a sign that Joe would make it through and recover. Not to be. When I got the bad news today, and right through now, I am just empty. I so wanted Joe to make it. I so wanted the chance to see him again and laugh. I so wanted to be young again with him. We had fun together and, as we get older, those memories become all the more...
