Dear Eileen, Maureen, Barry and Jill and family, I only remember the very best from Joe as our wonderful neighbor and friend during the time we lived in Washington Township. Joe was always right there to help out with anything that was needed. He was a great Dad and loved his family dearly. I know it has been many years since we lived in NJ but I can say that you were the best neighbors I ever had...especially during a difficult time that I had with the three girls...Chris, Michelle and Claire. I love your family and wish only that your memories will be forever in your hearts...as an find example of how a dad, husband, grandfather should be! I miss all of you too. Love, Andrea (Camilla) Pollard, Roy, WA
