You are forever my baby brother in my heart and my sole. You did everything BIG on earth and I'm sure your doing everything BIG where you are now. Your hearty motivation will forever inspire me Joe. KJ and I miss you so very much.
I'm so happy that we had our sibling bond silently reconnected again. Happy 41st birthday baby brother. See you when my days are done here on earth. Make sure Mommy and Daddy are watching over all of us.
With All My Love,

To Joe and all his loved ones (especially you, Pete)...I cannot think about high school without thinking about Joe. Joe, you didn't know it, but you were my idol. I lifted weights to get arms like your's...26 years later and I still don't have the arms, but I cherish many fond memories. All the times on the gridiron, you smacking me around in the dorms at Rutgers Football Camp (you even brought your own cereal to football camp...slick), and carrying that blocking sled across the parking lot with you and the other meatheads on that rainy night in 1986 all have a special place in my heart. Not a day goes by, that I do not think about you. Had I known that hug I gave you in Monmouth Mall in 1989 was going to be the last, I would have tackled you to the ground. You were quite the man, and I can only imagine a supreme husband and father. You will be forever loved and forever missed. I cannot believe you are gone. God Bless you, my dear Mentor...you made a lasting impression on my life.

Hi Joseph...Today is my 47th Birthday and I used to think about a time when you would be 40 I would be 47..I Love you soooo much....I'm sure they have you doing some important things up in heaven.......Say Hi to Mom and Dad and to all those who have passed on....
You will be in my heart forever lil brother......I miss you deeply...

Joseph my little brother and my friend...I will always cherish the time we spent together on this earth.....Your saying
"Lets do this" will be with me Forever... In business it has helped me greatly... because I no longer have Fear... And before your home in Long Beach Island was SOLD...I never thought it would sell...being next to a gas station did not help.. Then I had one of my several Dreams with you in it....And I was knealing at down next to you crying and I said Joseph...Why did you have to leave us...come back please come back...You were wearing a sweater and jeans..And you Smiled at me and said "Listen I'm fine now and don't worry...It's ALL going to be OK...you'll see.. When I awoke that morning..It was as if we had truley spent time together and I got multiple offers on your home within weeks..... I Love you Soo Soo much and not one day goes by that I don't think of you. I am now...... finally....beginning to understand why your gone.... Life does go on and throughout our Journeys.. there are many coincidences and occurances...Yet there is Karma and yet...Free will... We never stop learning, working and finding Moments of shear Happiness and Blissfulness... And then there are those moments of struggle and pain,..Maybe it's in those times that we grow and learn the most....Learn to Appreciate every single second we Breathe and look at the Beauty God has created for us...For everything we need is already here...And it's LOVE that is the Key to Life.... Because when there is Love.....nothing can hurt you... Joseph, your time here was short lived and in that time you accomplished and experienced things that a 70 year old man still has not experienced. Your Beautiful family will carry on your legacy.. So much talent and good looks and charisma..just like you... I Love you and continue coming to me in my dreams..In the eary dreams of you... You were always afar just on the outskirts of the dream..
Now you are more interactive and accepting and Happy..
Love ya, Josie

I don't want to say goodbye yet, Joseph posuf, my pain in the but little brother. I will dearly miss have you picking off my plate when you eat next to me, something about you I hated when you were a kid, but as adults made me giggle and filled my heart with love. I am still trying to understand why you left us all so soon, maybe we may never know. I am grateful Joe that our relationship was a mutual, peaceful one. I am grateful to have had the many heart to heart conversations we had, I am grateful to know how much your wife and children meant to you and how hard you worked on having peace and love in your heart no matter what. Give Mom and Dad a hug from me. See you in heaven , Love Louise

I'm a friend from HHS.
My heartfelt condolences to the family. I pray for God's comfort and provision for Joe's wife and kids.
Joe was such a character. We came home from AC one night and stopped at the Regent. When I returned from the restroom...1/2 of my steak was missing from my plate! Joe sat there with that "cat that just ate the mouse" grin, trying desperately not to laugh and spit out the remaining bite he hadn't swallowed yet. He was a really great guy and I'm blessed to have known him even for a short time.
My heart is grieved with the news. God bless the entire family. I'm so sorry.

To my sister-in-law, Kathy, Little Joe, Casey, Carly, Emily and all my "Low" siblings:
I believe that kind words from friends and family are the most precious and comforting gifts we can give or receive.
So, from my heart to yours, and in honor of my brother Joseph's 40th Birthday--March 11th, I pledge to maintain this site for one year. I hope that everyone whose life Joseph touched in a positive way will leave just a few kind words so that you, my family--especially Joseph's children--may come here for a measure of comfort when it is needed most of all.
Love, Cathy

Miss Me, But Let Me Go
Author Unknown.
When I come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little—but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take,
and each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the master’s plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know.
Bear your sorrow in good deeds. Miss me,
but let me go.

Joseph my baby brother....I will Forever Love you and hold you in my heart as if you are still here. I cannot let go of you. When you were born I was 6 years old and after 7 girls, it was a celebration! Me being child # 5 also named after Daddy who they thought would be a boy, I took on that older brother responsibility and always stuck up for you and protected you and not too many kids in the neighborhood messed with you because they would have to deal with your big sister... I watched you grow up and become successful in every area. You were popular, got good grades w/out even trying, had all the girl friends, and the guys loved you. You were a Star football player who would have gone Proffessional if you weren't injured. You had charisma and charm and you lived large. Everything you touched turned to Gold.. You have such a beautiful family, loving wife and gorgeous loving caring children. I am proud to be a god parent of Casey. I am proud to be your sister.
Losing you is by far the most difficult of all my lifes experiences... I am struggling to overcome to pain and the void in my heart. I promise to always be a part of Kathy and your childrens lives. I promise to live by one of your sayings which was "LETS DO THIS". You were a Master poker player who had the knack to win several tournaments. I never judged you for your extreme lifestyle at times. Although you were my younger brother, I always looked up to you... I know in time you will come to me in my dreams and you will communicate with me, I truely believe this.. I'm still in shock, it's not fair, it's just not right... If it is Gods plan....then what is the plan because I don't understand?? You are with Mommy and Daddy now and many relatives who have passed. I could see you playing Poker with Mom, Dad, Tony, Uncle Harry, Uncle Johnny and maybe even the Grandma's and Grandpa's are joining in. It seems soo surreal... Someday when my work here is done, we will meet again.. For now I have you in Spirit and spirits never die, they live on forever and ever. Dear Lord, Jesus, Padre Pio, Mother Theresa, Mary, All Saints, All Angels please watch over and protect Joseph in Heaven and the spirit world. Your legacy will live on in all of us. Just like the movie "It's a wonderful Life" My life is what it is because you were in it and words can never express my Gratitude to have known you my whold life. I was Blessed.

I know that you don't know me but I lived downstairs from Joe, Rich, Larry, Dan, etc my senior year ( I played football as well). We used to run into eachother at the Homecoming game at GSC a few times. I am sorry that I could not come in person to send my condolences but my kids had team pictures tonight and my wife was out. They were a great group of guys and Joe was the true leader among them. He will be missed. I can still remember banging on the ceiling asking them to keep it down so I could study-- yeah right- it was glassboro.-- Tom Esser (1990)

Kathy-
I was always struck by Joe's generosity and kind heart. I remember one time when we were coaching and a parent came up to him to complain that thier kid wasn't playing enough. I asked him how he handled it and he said, ""hey, she cares about her kid and it probably wasn't comfortable for her to approach me about this. I treated her with the respect she deserved." That was how he approached everything in my interactions with him. He was passionate about everything he did, that I observed. He was a really good man, and someone I considered a friend as well. Our family wishes you the best, and will be here should you ever need us.
Sincerely,
The Small Family

Always upbeat and always had a great story to tell. Even on my worst days if Joe walked in I would end up laughing and smiling. I cannot imagine what your family is going through. My prayers are with you all. I was so shocked to hear of his passing. I am sure Joe is watching over you and will protect you through this very difficult time in your life. May God bless you.
