Dear All the Family!
Fourteen years have passed now; we miss you still? How can we not? You were so young and vibrant; so kind; sweet and funny! I loved our times together!
I think of you a lot; and will never forget this date; (10/10/09) I was there when you passed into God´s garden! I will never forget!
I remember you in prayer and always will! Many say if you ask in prayer to that person who went bf; ask them to pray for "me" "us"? Them praying there is working for us here? Can you pray for me? My Faith tells me we will see each other some day? So, until then then I will continue to miss you RIP Your forever friend, Theresa Giambrone; Manchester Twp. NJ

In Loving Memory Of
Joseph M. Fennimore
December 27, 1956
to
October 10, 2009

God Saw he was getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him
And Whispered, "Come with Me"

With tearful eyes we watched
him suffer

And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best


This is the poem from his funeral card ..

Joe you will always be my father in my heart and there isnt a day that goes by that I dont think of you. I love and miss u with all my heart

Love Laura

Denise and Family, You don't know who I am but I wanted to leave a message. I entered Rite Aid today for the first time this month and was deepenly saddened to hear of Joe's passing. He was a great person. I oftened shopped at Eckerd's when I was pregnant with my daughter who is now 4. Joe was always very thoughtful and would ask me if I needed help when I didn't even ask for help. Great all around man! He was always so helpful and always had something nice to say. I will miss talking with him at Rite Aid. He was a ray of sunshine at the store and the Rite Aid store will just not be the same without him. My sincerest sympathies to you and your family.

Dear Denise & Family,

I knew Joe for years as a customer of Rite-Aid.To say he was a great guy would be an understatement. I used to go in just to talk to him sometimes.He had the best sense of humor and we always laughed together. He will be dearly missed by alot of people and I'm sure God has a special place for him in Heaven.

Dear Denise and Family,

I worked with Joe at Eckerd in Old Bridge from 2003-2006 when I was in high school. After I had left Eckerd my senior year of high school, he told me if I ever needed a job in the future I could always come back. Sure enough, the summer after my first year of college I had trouble finding a job, and Joe was there for me and kept his word. He was a great manager and an extraordinary man. Joe was one of the kindest, friendliest and most loving and caring people I have ever met, and I'm glad I had the pleasure of working with him. I am deeply saddened by the news of his passing. My heart goes out to his entire family, and he will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Denise and Family,
What I feel right now can't be put into words. Joe was very kind to me. I will never forget the day I had the flu with fever and no one to cover for me. Joe called me and arranged for coverage with the pharmacist. That night I was told by the Dr. that had I waited any longer I would have had a seizure. But that was Joe. He helped anyone anyway he can. I owe Joe alot and everyone that knew Joe would agree with me. Joe had and continues to affect people's lives through his past advice and good memory. Denise You might not remember me but you and Joe used to come to my East Windsor store to visit and that used to make my day. Please accept my codolences for the loss of Joe it's a loss to all of us. I'm lucky to have known him.

Joe You will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace my friend.

Hi, my name is Chris McMahon and I worked with Joe since December 2005 at Eckerd (now Rite Aid) in Old Bridge. Not only was he a great manager, Joe was a great man. He always helped me out with work hours and gave me the time off I needed to attend college. He treated his employees with respect and made sure we were doing alright outside of work. Denise and family, you have my condolences and you are in my thoughts during this difficult time.

Dear Denise and Family,
My heart goes out to you and your family at this time and in the days ahead. Joe will forever be in our hearts. I have known Joe for 30+ years of my 41 years of life. He was the best friend of my mother Ginny and for that he was the best friend of us all. We are all thankful to have been blessed with his friendship. He will truly be missed.
Our sincere sympathy,
Barbara, Michael and Victoria Daus

Dear Denise & Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences! You probably don’t remember me but I have worked with Joe for 10 years at Eckerd Pharmacy. Both of you attended our wedding in 2002. Joe was my mentor and friend, and I always appreciated his advice. His jokes made me laugh. Joe used to call me his “little buddy” and now I use the same nickname for my son (and often think of him). There were three things that he always talked about and loved in this world; his wife, kids and his Bronco. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Joe was a great person and will be missed by many.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Denise,
I use to work with Joe as his assistant manager, he taught me so many valued lessons i will carry on for the rest of my life. I can't express how sorry I am for your loss. He was always talking about how much he loved his wife and even told me about the mustang he was fixing up for you. Joe was such a good person and I will never forget him as long as I live. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Denise,
So sorry for your loss. Except my sympathy for you and your family. I know he just became a grandfather which I'm sure he was proud. If there is anything I can do for you, please call me. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
