Joseph E. Stapleton

Joe was a class act and a good man. I've known him for decades working in Boston broadcasting. Joe's hearty laugh, big smile and genuine kindness will be forever remembered. Joe, you are missed...

Joe was such a great guy. We worked together at a couple of radio jobs over the last 20 years. News of his death greatly saddens so many of us. Farewell Joe. Rest In Peace, my friend.

I loved Joe. He's been a constant and supportive colleague and friend when I visit Boston. Over the years we've called each other to commiserate about the film and TV business. I always came away from the call feeling better and less alone. My heart goes out to his family and want to let them know Joe was universally loved and respected by so many people.

Shocked to have, by mere chance, run across notice of his death, I met this fellow once, briefly, a few years ago at a tourism-related job fair in Atlanta.

Heartbreaking to hear about the loss of Joe, He was one of the Great ones! RIP Joe

Sorry to hear of the passing of Joe Stapleton. I worked with Joe at Metro Traffic in the 90's and then again a few years ago at IHeart in Boston. My condolences to the Stapleton family on your loss. Rest in peace Joe.

You were and will always be remembered as such a Great Guy Joe tons of Laughs for sure ... May you my Friend Rest in the Sweetest Peace ... Somewhere over the Rainbow ..your Friend Juju

I only knew Joe for a relatively short time, but his good nature, his help, and laugh will be with me the rest of my life. I'm sure the Heaven stretch will be a smoother ride because Joe is showing the way. Thanks, Joe.

When I was in the neighborhood, I inevitably would run into Joe and we'd share a couple laughs and talk a little. At first I did not know Joe was an actor and radio personality. He was just a good guy to talk to. He showed me a picture of himself as an actor in the old Spenser TV series. Then I started noticing him over the past couple decades in movies with Sean Penn, Wesley Snipes, Mel Gibson, Casey Affleck and many others. Always brought a smile to my face. He loved the movie scene. I...
